Roon and Aurender A200

Support
1

Hi - I use Roon with my Aurender A200. The Aurender comes with its own storage which I access through my home network. Is it normal that when I turn off Roon AND Aurender for the day and turn them on again the next day, I have to rescan all my files again? Thanks!

P.S. I tried to log this in as a Technical Support question, but the clicking on the appropriate button did nothing.

Roon should run 24/7 for best results.

Yes, if a storage location goes offline, then the RoonServer will rescan when it comes back online to verify that everything is still the same.

Hello @Claudia_Locsin,

Thanks for the question — and welcome :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes, what you’re seeing is expected behavior, especially given how the Aurender A200 presents its internal storage.

A few key points to clarify:

  • When you power off the Aurender, its internal storage becomes unavailable on the network
  • From Roon’s perspective, that storage location has gone offline
  • When you power everything back on, Roon will rescan the storage to confirm file availability and detect any changes

This rescan is a verification pass, not a full re-import from scratch. Your library data, edits, and metadata are preserved.

Best practices to minimize this behavior

  • Roon Server is designed to run continuously (24/7) when possible
  • If the Aurender remains powered on, rescans will be minimal or instantaneous
  • If the storage regularly goes offline (power downs), rescans on reconnect are normal and unavoidable

So in short: nothing is wrong, and no data is being lost — Roon is just doing its due diligence to keep the library consistent.

If you have any follow-up questions about storage setup or scan behavior, feel free to ask. Happy listening and happy holidays :christmas_tree:
