I search in Roon for a specific album, I know Tidal and Qobuz have several versions of a given album, but it won't show in Roon search. This time it was The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses,It's an official release by Sony Music UK 1989
BTW your "tell us what's going on" input is mislabeled, it asks for an Answer instead of a Question And when i scrolled down to the bottom of this prompt, I did it by mistake, It deleted all I had written so I had to write it all over again
I searched around a bit and I actually found it, so it is there, but it doesn’t show under main albums EP’s or any other place, just on the Overview as marked in blue, strange…
Based on what you found at the end there (it shows up on the Overview but not under Main albums), I suspect this isn’t a missing album so much as how Roon is grouping the release versions. A couple of things worth checking before we go digging:
Open the “The Stone Roses (20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition)” tile on the artist page and click the VERSIONS tab. I’d expect the 1989 Sony Music UK edition to be listed in there. Roon collapses equivalent releases into one grouping and picks a single one to represent it on the artist page, and in this case the reissue is carrying the original 1989 release date, which is why it’s sitting in the debut’s slot.
Check Settings > General > Hide Duplicate Albums. If you already have a copy of the debut in your library, that setting will suppress the other version, which would give you exactly this “visible on the Overview, absent from Main albums” behaviour.
On the artist page itself, have a look at the small filter icons next to Focus at the top left, if the library filter is active, catalog albums you haven’t added won’t be shown.
It would also be really useful if you could add the album to your library from Tidal or Qobuz and let us know what happens. If it adds cleanly and then behaves normally, we know we’re looking at a display/grouping question rather than anything missing from the catalog. If it won’t add, or it still doesn’t appear anywhere in Roon while playing fine in the native Tidal or Qobuz app, that’s a different problem and we’ll want to look at it properly.
A screenshot of that VERSIONS tab would tell us most of what we need, no need for logs at this stage, since this kind of thing doesn’t really show up in them.
Separately, thanks for flagging the support form issues, the field labelled “Answer” where it should say “Question”, and losing your text while scrolling. I’ll pass them along to the team. Sorry for the hassle.
Just to reiterate before this thread auto-closes: what’s at stake here is what Roon considers to be the canonical version.
In this case, the twentieth anniversary collector’s edition of the album has the highest-quality and most complete metadata, so it will display as the primary version within Roon under the Artist page discography.
You can change what Roon displays with the settings @benjamin mentioned above or by editing the album directly (you’ll need to add it to your library, in that case).
