@support I have a pretty significant recurring problem with setting meta data preferences. There are numerous symptoms:
- I have gone through composers from a-e and merged all of the dupes (for example John April = Johnny April). Upon return a couple of days later, some (but not all) of the merges have mysteriously unmerged.
- I have edited several composers to fix name sorting, switching last name and first name. Returning a couple of days later, many have reverted. (By the way, the UX for doing a simple fix for a composer which is displaying in the wrong order (showing sorted by first name rather than last name), could be really improved. I should not have to retype the composer’s name…)
- I reported this separately, but it may be related: I have created several bookmarks that have just disappeared as well.
- Finally, I can’t seem to get Roon to prefer my metadata for a single track at all. I pick a track on some album where I know roon’s data is different from the file data. I can reproduce this at will:
Here is a the metadata for a track in my collection:
Here is what roon displays:
If I edit the metadata and choose prefer file for this one track (and click save):
the track still shows the roon data. Interestingly, when I go back into the file to edit the metadata preferences, the screen had already forgotten my setting (no radio button selected)
Even when I explicitly set it to something very different, it continues to use roon’s data.
To summarize, I suspect that these are related in some way (just a hunch). The layering system doesn’t seem to be behaving as one would expect. I am doing something wrong or is this a bug?
My setup:
Core on Windows 7 64 bit. Pretty power PC
Playback through Oppo DAC (works fine)
Remote is a MS Surface running Win 10.
Library is about 13000 tracks
