Now no tags at all in my music files whatsoever. Need tagging in advance?

Your files to not need to have metadata to be identified by Roon.

Please read Roonlabs Knowledge base - search for identify album-
and gives this topic in the forum an indepth look:

What can I do to improve my metadata matches?

I’m trying to help myself and other power users here. Here’s an example: I’m prepared to update my tags and directory structure to get things “as I want them” with minimal post-Roon-import grooming. If I want to increase the chances of a boxset actually being recognized as a boxset, what do I need to do? How do I arrange the directory structure and tags to achieve this vs. having Roon think that boxset constituents are individual albums?
