Thank you Richard. The distinctions - be they understood by all or not - are indeed important to me. Your gentlemanly reply is much appreciated.
Should you be interested in discussing the finer points in a less public forum, I would welcome a PM. Otherwise, thank you very much for trying to help.
If you wish to discuss matters in a PM, sure, I am happy to respond. Not sure what a PM will accomplish or what the matters are that requires a PM, but, I am fine with that. I havenât actually engaged in a PM at roon, but I am sure I can figure out how to accomplish doing so.
So thereâs my problem - as stated before - except for those Tidal albums that must go away due to changes in licensing - some of the albums that Roon put in my Roon library (specifically those I have LPs of), are things that I want to STAY in my Roon library permanently. If Tidal changes the list that caused them to go into my Roon library, I donât want Roon to pull them out. Simple.
Roon will not pull them put.
The âcollectionsâ feature in Roon works by starring those albums in TIDAL at the time when you import the collection. Then in the future, Roon will sync the starred content just like it syncs other starred content in TIDAL. The collections lists were developed here, not at TIDAL, and we maintain them. Content will only disappear if TIDALâs copyright rules force it to.
That means no action is required on my part to permanently retain in my collection those albums that I want to remain there, regardless of how they got there. Excepting license issues. Excellent!
Now to the more subtle implied questionâŚ
Roonâs Discovery feature - I gather - is based on multiple factors including whatâs in my collection. Is my collections influence on Discovery the same, regardless of whether its source, i.e. - in my digital media vs. included by a âAdd to Collectionâ action vs. included because of inclusion in a TIDAL collection that I indicated that I wanted?
Hi Brian
Can you clarify what you mean by âmaintainâ please??
Specifically,
If I imported your recommended âJazzâ list of e.g. 100 Albums back in JuneâŚand Roon have now groomed / expanded this list to e.g. 110 AlbumsâŚwill those extra 10 Albums be automatically added to my Tidal / Roon Library??..my assumption is that the extra 10 albums would NOT be added automatically??
Based on your description above, the original 100 Albums would not shrink or change?? [except for licensing reasons]
By âmaintainâ I mean that we are responsible for them (as opposed to TIDAL), and that as available content changes or new material comes out, we may change what make up those lists.
Roonâs Discovery feature - I gather - is based on multiple factors including whatâs in my collection. Is my collections influence on Discovery the same, regardless of whether its source, i.e. - in my digital media vs. included by a âAdd to Collectionâ action vs. included because of inclusion in a TIDAL collection that I indicated that I wanted?
No, we do not differentiate between sources for this. The collections feature is a shortcut for starring a bunch of content on the TIDAL side + tagging it as âTIDAL: Jazzâ or similar. Thereâs nothing additional going on there.
