**Bryston BDP II music streamer. USB connected hard drive with FLAC files
I have in excess of 2000 albums on my BDP-connected hard drive. All those albums can be accessed from the native Bryston app. When using Roon, however, it detects only about 1,600. That smaller number includes hundreds of Tidal and Qobuz albums that randomly appear in my library (and apparently can’t be filtered out). Meaning Roon is detecting only perhaps half the albums on the USB connected hard drive.
It’s actually an old problem on an old install. I’ve kind of defaulted to using the Bryston to access my albums. Would like to have access to the entire library on Roon, however…
Thanks for the reply Ged - on my version, it seems that the default view of my music includes Tidal and Qobuz selections. “Focus” allows me to limit the view to only one (or both) of those…but not to exclude them.
Right - though it seems like you only get to choose one set of filters - and they have to all be + or all be -. So you can’t do “-Tidal, Qobuz” and “+FLAC”.
Hey - found a work-around. You can deselect streaming services, and select 16bit. That allows a view of only my library…which is about half of what’s actually on the hard drive. Looks like I’ll be sticking with the Bryston software for the time being though! Thanks again for the assist…
If you go to Settings > Library > Skipped Files do you see any of your missing files there?
I’d like to recommend looking at a couple of specific examples of tracks that did not get imported into Roon. Are they supported files? Are they showing up in Skipped Files? If it looks like they should be importing, let me know! Screenshots of these files in their storage location would be helpful for discovering what may be happening.
If you open up a viewer from the PC (file explorer) to the USB drive on the Bryston, do you see all the files? If you do, then find one which you can see in the Windows File Explorer, that you cannot in Roon. Provide the examples of the the file(s) you cannot see.
Also, you might try putting your files LOCAL to the Core. As it is now, you are streaming the music from the hard drive connected to the Bryson to the Windows PC, processing it and then sending it back to the Bryson.
Hey there - skipped files show two out of more than 2,000…so that doesn’t seem to be the problem.
All files are supported (they’re all FLAC).
I think I’m actually good for the moment - sound quality playing directly from my Bryston rig is noticeably better than with the added layer of Roon. I can still use Roon for the odd bit of music research, and will periodically try it to see if it’s displaying my files and/or the sound is improving. I feel like when it becomes more of an “end user” tool, it will generally be much better!
