Restrict search (Filter) to my Library?

Roon Software Discussion

Is this (still?) the best (only?) way to restrict a search to my Library, please; that is - exclude my Qobuz subscription:

  1. Focus > Storage Locations > Nucleus Titan Internal Storage

  2. Search (Magnifier top right at same level on screen)

Search only in my Library
Search only in my Library2414×750 82.2 KB

TIA…

Basically - yes

To make it easier, I recommend filtering by storage location and then creating a bookmark (which would then show just your local albums).

Thanks very much! It’s because my collection is growing almost daily and it’s becoming more difficult to find what I want. This will make it easier.

Bookmark also created…

Appreciated :slight_smile:

Why not use Filter on the Album view , that is your library plus whatever Qobuz albums you have added

3-5 char filter to a subset usually works for me, Pick your filter set carefully eg Abbey not Road etc likely to be many Roads much fewer Abbey’s

My main workflow is Artists >Filter > Discography > Filter

I have always regarded Search as a blunt instrument to find stuff NOT in my main library

Thanks, Mike!

Maybe something odd…that’s how I started; but Filter always returns all sorts of (in my case too) artists whom I know I don’t have imported CDs or FLACs of.

so I thought they must be ones available through my Qobuz subscription.

Hi Mark

Filter only works on what is in that specific view , so with Artists for example if it finds something odd it’s because it’s there . Stray credits imported into metadata are unfortunately not rare.

Also, back to my hobbyhorse of box sets , if you split a CD off a box, often it will take with it the credit for the box not the disc ! I suspect its because that album does not ID alone but does as a part of the box. It sometimes (not often) allocates an album to a wrong composer. I can’t just find an example, typically>

That said I have used this workflow almost permanently since filter appeared and I find it perfect

Thanks, Mike. Shall experiment further :slight_smile:
