I think the path is still not correct. I’m not able to force a back up. See screen shots. I restored from an old backup that was using the PC as a core but I now have a Nucleus that I want use as the main source. All of my music is stored on a backup drive connected to the PC. See screen shots…
Hi @Alan_Chapin ,
Can you please confirm that the Sharing tab settings are turned on for the folder from your screenshot? The following guide also provides more details:

@Alan_Chapin - I’ve deleted your screenshot of Roon’s

Someone from the support team will be along to answer your questions.
Hey @Alan_Chapin,
Thanks for the reply! Roon can be incredibly meticulous about how it organizes music, which often leads to the exact confusion you’re experiencing.
Here is the breakdown of why your library looks like a house of mirrors and why those “corrupt” songs are actually fine.
Roon doesn’t just see “an album”; it sees every unique instance of it. If you have a local copy on your hard drive plus versions on Tidal and Qobuz, Roon treats them as three distinct “Versions.”
Check your Settings: Go to Settings > General. Look for “Show Hidden Tracks and Albums.”
If this is toggled Yes, Roon will show every single copy of every album as its own tile.
Set it to No, and Roon will “stack” them. You’ll see one cover, and inside that album’s page, you can switch between versions using the Versions tab
Let me know if this helps! If not, let’s look at manual merging: If two albums are still showing up separately, it’s because their metadata (titles or track counts) is slightly different, and Roon doesn’t realize they’re siblings.
Try:
- Right-click (or long-press) both albums to select them.
- Click the three-dot menu (⋯) at the top.
- Select Edit > Group Alternate Versions.
Let’s see if we can re-analyze any issue tracks here. Select the affected songs, click the three-dot menu (⋯) > Edit, and choose Re-analyze. This often clears the “corrupt” flag if it was just a glitch during the initial scan.
Often, a file has a tiny error in its “header” (the bit of data that tells the player how long the song is or what format it’s in). Most players (like VLC or iTunes) ignore this and just play the music. Roon, however, flags it with a red warning because it doesn’t meet its strict standards.
Let me know if the above helps!
