Mac Mini connected via USB to P.S. Audio Direct Stream DAC
On most of the discs of the above box sets, a lot of the tracks are missing. Roon properly identifies all the tracks when I go into edit and “identify album”, but when I select “save”, the tracks that were missing before editing are still missing. I import from iTunes.
The first shot is the iTunes file, the second the imported Roon file, and the third what the Roon file looks like when I try to edit.
I tried attaching the screenshots to this post, but I just ended up with words, not the pictures. So, I sent them by replying to your email.
I think the discs are in album-level directories that you warn against and they are listed separately, not in one folder. So, I guess I need to figure out how to correct that. Maybe I should just abandon i-tunes and use a better file system, especially since Apple has abandoned i-tunes.
There are a number of options out there for managing your files, tags, and rips — While we don’t recommend any specific one in particular, as long as the files are in the recommended structure Roon should be able to better handle these multi-disc sets. You can even make some changes in Finder or File Explorer to the folder structure for these items and that should work for you.
