Neil Young Archives, Vol 2

[David_Weinberg]

My wife gave me Neil Young Archives, Vol 2 for Christmas and I was pleased to see that hi res downloads are avaialble from the Neil Young Archives in advance of the March release of the “retail edition”.

I downloaded the set and added it to my Roon library. I updated the album cover art from digital copies in Discogs (as I did earlier for Vol 1). What surprised me was my subsequent search for the “Neil Young Archives” on brought up the new Vol 2 as discreet albums, but all consolidated as one album with ten discs for the earlier Vol 1 (bottom left).

While there is still some inconsistency with the metadata between the two sets, I thought both would be pulled up in a similar fashion under a search of the “Neil Young Archives”.

Any reasons why Vol 1and Vol 2 would be retrieved differently? Also, while I attached the album artwork for each disc, some artwork is presented as the consolidated “Neil Young Archives” while others as the component parts as I intended? Not certain why that is.

Viewing Box Set Albums Separately

I recently bought the 10 cd Neil Young archives and ran into the same problem. So, I employed all 3 tricks: Each album in its own folder: boxset-name/album-disc 1, boxset-name/album-disc 2, etc. Tracks are prefixed with disk number, eg: 1-01 trackname, 1-02 trackname… 2-01 trackname, etc. Filetags edited (outside of Roon): disk 1 of 10, disk 2 of 10, etc. Now I get a drop down box in Roon to select the album number, but the artwork is the same for all albums, despite the embedded artwork bein…

Different album covers for discs in a boxset

Time to revive this relatively young (!) future request! Please add support for a main cover for the boxset (as now), and individual covers for each album within the set shown in “now playing”. Something like the following: boxset / cover.jpg / disk_1 / cover.jpg / 1-01 track 1 / 1-02 track 2 : / disk_2 / cover.jpg / 2-01 track 1 / 2-02 track 2 : / disk_3 / cover.jpg …

Thanks so kindly @mikeb

I found a different thread where this issue was discussed (and it was far more complicated). But in the end, yes, I did get it resolved.
