Roon albums when selecting ADDED from the home screen seem out of order

Roon Software Discussion

Hi,
My Roon database may have an issue. At some point recently (I’m not sure when), the Date Added information seems to have gone wrong. On the home screen, selecting ADDED instead of PLAYED should show my recently added albums. It does show a few correctly, but the rest appear out of order.

I checked the folder modified and timestamps and they do show the correct dates when the albums were added, so it seems the Roon index may be the problem.

Is there anything I can look at or try to fix this?

Thanks.

I use File Creation Date not Roon Import Date. That might help keep things straight. This is set in Settings/Library

Are these Qobuz albums? If so, this is a known issue that’s currently under investigation. There are several threads about this.

I kept the Room Import Timestamp (Default). It worked ok, I suppose, until it did not. Its work now but only for new albums, but the damage (order) needs to be fixed for a lot of albums. Any other ideas?

No, all albums have been ripped and imported. I don’t use Qobuz.Thanks.

I have exactly the same issue. Currently showing albums that have been in my library for years as added 5 days ago. As I have not made any changes to any settings I can only assume that this has been caused by a software update from Roon.

Hi Paul,

Looks like Roon is aware of the problem. So hope to see a fix sometime soon.

Cheers.
