Description of Issue
I have albums and tracks where the album title and track titles in my library do not match the metadata of the source albums and tracks on Tidal (which has it all correct, for once).
The specific situation involves an album with a regular and instrumental version (details below).
On Tidal: the text “(Instrumental Version)” is appended to the name of the album and every track. Both albums are in my favorites and in my collection.
On Roon: the two albums show up as “versions” of a single album. The text “(Instrumental Version)” does not appear in the name of either album. But, that text appears at the end of every track, on both the instrumental and the regular version of the album.
I know I can resolve by editing and overriding the album and track names. That seems less than ideal because the error seems to be that the albums have been incorrectly classified or grouped.
What’s the best solution? Is this a problem in my own database or in Roon’s code or metadata?
