I Have recently started having problems when I’m adding FLAC files to my Roon database. Many albums will contain a track or two that Roon rejects as corrupt. I’ve been using Roon since 2016 and never really encountered a problem like this until recently. I’ve seen a number of threads on this issue and thought I’d share what fixed it for me.
Analyzing the files with dbpoweramp Indicated the files were fine. Converting the files to another format was of no help.
What did work was renaming the files. I totally deleted the file name, including the extension, and then renamed it. (Retyping the same name works fine.) Roon Then accepted the files and they all work now. Of course, when importing an album to Roon now, I commonly have to rename a file or two.
Why this became an issue now, after all these years, I have no idea. But at least it’s manageable now.
Hope this helps anybody out there struggling with the same issue.
