Before anyone asks. Despite the title it is not a holiday album. Just a nice compilation of quiet background Classical music.

Have you made any edits to this content in Roon?

Only to correct the doubling of track titles.

Is the album identified in Roon?

Yes.

Is this content from local files, TIDAL, or Qobuz?

Description of the issue

With Classical compilations it is quite common that only single parts or movements of larger multi-part works are listed. In these cases I would expect the title of the track to be in the format:

<work>:<part>

However, frequently roon will double the work component so that the format of the track is:

<work>:<work>:<part>

Take this example:

Tracks 4, 6 and 8 have the work component of the title doubled. Looking at track 4 it would be better if

The 4 Seasons: Violin Concerto in F Minor, Op. 8, No. 4, RV 297, “L’inverno” (Winter) (arr. for flute and harp): The 4 Seasons: Violin Concerto in F Minor, Op. 8, No. 4, RV 297, “L’inverno” (Winter): II. Largo (arr. for flute and harp)

was either:

The 4 Seasons: Violin Concerto in F Minor, Op. 8, No. 4, RV 297, “L’inverno” (Winter) (arr. for flute and harp): II. Largo (arr. for flute and harp)

or

The 4 Seasons: Violin Concerto in F Minor, Op. 8, No. 4, RV 297, “L’inverno” (Winter): II. Largo (arr. for flute and harp)

But not both!

In the same album I have even encountered the work component of the title tripled:

This is extremely common in roons treatment of Classical compilations which makes them very cluttered, clunky and difficult to read and navigate. At the moment the only remedy is a manual edit. With many compilations I have encountered that could be +/- 75 title edits in a 4 or 5 CD compilation.

Thanks for reporting this. I’ve created a ticket for us to take a look, but I can’t give you any timelines.
