Roon stopped identifying albums after installation to new computer

Situation

The intention was to transfer Roon core from Macbook Pro to newly purchased Apple Macbook Air. I removed Roon from old Macbook Pro and downloaded new core software from Roon website onto my new Macbook Air.

Problem:

All new albums from TIDAL and newly ripped albums are not fully identified, displaying the Roon-unidentified white square with grey “album icon” inside the white square. However, each album title is shown under the white square. When the album is clicked, all of the songs are displayed. In order to get the album art to display, each one has to be manually identified by doing an edit, selecting identify album, and selecting the appropriate art from the covers listed – which seems to work normally.

At the top of the Roon window, is the little “in process circle” which eternally revolves and never stops. When clicked, the attached display (see screenshot) comes up. The number of tracks in this popup continues to go up as new music is added. It goes down after manual identify album process.

Music plays normally…

Hey @Paul_Lewis,

I am so sorry it took us no more no less than a week to get back to you. It’s much longer than we had hoped and I can only apologize… :pleading_face:
