Describe the issue

I ripped a Broadway Musical ("Company") with 13 tracks. When I play the album in Roon, the tracks listing is correct, but it does not show the individual tracks in the queue and instead of displaying the track titles it shows (for example) "Part 7 of 13".

Describe your network setup

N/A , AT&T ROUTER, all connected w/ physical Ethernet cables via an Ethernet switch

I think I finally figured out the solution.

I thought it had to do with multi-part grouping, which is common in classical music albums, and I am puzzled by such behavior with Broadway musical recordings.

It also turns out that the Roon User interface on my PC has a differently formatted display for multi-part recordings vs my iPhone UI. The PC formatting has a group of boxes (one for each track) that can identify the track #, but also shows the individual track title. The iPhone only gives the name of the Musical (where the track title usually is displayed) and the track number on the bottom; while also repeating the Album title again in the same display. Perhaps the display choice could be improved.

Meanwhile, I had to believe that there had to be an option to not have the album treated as multi-part. I wish the knowledge base had a complete tutorial on how to navigate the interface to locate all the options.
I finally stumbled upon the path of

“…” next to the selected album) => Edit [sometimes does not show this in the list) => Edit Album (in upper right) => scroll down to Multi-part Compositions => check Disable (if the number of tracks does not match the number of recordings)

Of course, I needed to do this individually for each & every musical show recording.

If the iPhone interface could be redesigned to show the track title instead of showing the Album title twice, I could set them back to multi-part, since that does have a functional purpose. I just need to know the name of the track being played.
Is there some process through which I would submit that as a product enhancement?

Hey @Michael_Arones,

Thanks for writing in, and great troubleshooting work!

Thanks for the pointer to feature-suggestions.

btw - now that I know how to disable the multi-part com function on an Album, I now find that the Edit item in the “…” context menu is not being shown, so I can not Edit Album to do that disabling … :frowning:
[I have opened a different thread/request on that.]
