On the Tidal app, I searched for the band Gun. No result. Typing in the name of their first album, Taking on the world, it comes up and all of their other albums are listed as well.
I don’t think you problem is Roon related.
When you first clicked on Wayne Davis, Roon showed you the credits of the Wayne Davis in your library; he only had one - an appearance.
When you searched for him, Roon finds another Wayne Davis outside your library and thus shows his two albums (which are not in your library). There are two Wayne Davis artists (who may actually be the same)
It’s all very confusing because under one of the Wayne Davis selections I see what looks like performances and albums from artists that might be two different Wayne Davises
I agree. There might even be more than two. There’s an Australian, an American, possibly a Bermudan, playing basses and pianos, and composing too.
Allmusic may have some mixed up.
So I dont think this is a search failing, more a metadata issue. If you agree, I’ll move this over to the #support:metadata-issues category.
