I am not sure if I’ve got this slightly off topic or missed the point, but this is one thing that really matters to me. Anyway, I feel there is a general issue with Roon’s use of album artists, rather than track artists. Take the overview screens above, iTunes lists the track artists, JRiver does the same, Roon insists on only listing album artists, or very many tracks by the ‘various artists’ combo. It strikes me that this is a pretty fundamental factor behind many artist / ‘various artists’ issue. Can this be improved, is this just a fundamental quirk as to how Roon works and utilises metadata?
