Bit of a conceptual issue here - not sure if I am not quite understanding.
So if I go to my ‘Albums’ I get all my music content grouped into (unsurprisingly) Albums.
If I use the ‘Focus’ function I can see that the total album count is actually comprised of:
Main Release (the vast majority)
Soundtrack
EP
Single
So in reality ‘Main Release’ means ‘Albums’, EPs means EPs, Singles means Singles and Soundtracks
are still Albums but for some reason (unlike any other categorisation) have been split out (and many of my soundtracks aren’t actually categorised as such here, which I assume is just a metadata issue).
Or am I misunderstanding?
I don’t have many Singles at all but even so ideally when I see my Album count I wouldn’t want to include my Singles in the count (because they aren’t Albums!).
I’ve also noticed quite a few things that are categorised as E.Ps are actually Albums or Mini-Albums (I know the difference between a mini-LP and an E.P. is often a matter of presentation and Roon will just decide based on metadata but I’d ideally like the choice to categorise as Mini-LP (I’ve started changing them to Album which is still more accurate imo than EP)).
Any views? Have I misunderstood?
Does anyone with a large Single collection manage their collection in a slightly different way?
Cheers!
