Very pleased to hear you can finally try out Roon properly. I hope you like it.
Cheers,

Hey @david_burnside – really glad you got this worked out, and the team and I are going to look into whether we’re able to reproduce this situation with the .pmbmf files. If I can get into the same situation you describe, I’m inclined to agree that we should be ignoring them, but we’ll need to do some more investigation.

I think having non-iTunes formatted files in an iTunes folder with those PureMusic bookmark files is what flummoxed Roon, and it did it in many ways. It seems happy with them in a generic “music” folder. I’m removing the duplicates, but I believe since it’s a watched folder, not an organized folder, I’m removing them from Roon is only removing them from it’s library. I have not confirmed yet, but I’m pretty sure I’m right. There’s no real reason to want them assuming I keep Roon, which I am 99.99 percent sure I will, but I also can’t see any reason to get rid of them either, in case I ever do want to resurrect PureMusic.

Anything in your watched folder will be imported into Roon, and deleting the files inside Roon will permanently remove them from your hard drive. If you want to hold onto the “duplicate” files, you may want to hide them in Roon, as opposed to deleting them.
