Rosalia's latest album "LUX" not appearing in Roon, even though I can see it in Qobuz

Hi! There seems to be an integration mismatch between Qobuz and Roon.

Rosalia’s new album is availabe in Qobuz, but it’s not in Roon:

Roon will not show the album neither through search nor looking directly in Rosalia’s discography:

This is normal, it takes a little time to sync with the streaming services

Its the way Roon works that causes it, always has

It will arrive in the next few hours.

For now, go to Qobuz and add it to your library. When Roon caches the new library from Qobuz it will show up in your library.

If you hang out of the forum, I expect most Roon users don’t, then yes it can be tiring to repeatedly see the same question asked every time an anticipated album drops.

But maybe that’s all the more reason for Roon to look at improving the integration / sync delay?

(..and yes I am well aware that the current architecture doesn’t also this, but that doesn’t mean a solution can’t be found, after all the record labels seem to manage to sync their databases with Qobuz, Spotify and Tidal on release day).

This has already been reported yesterday and unfortunately the topic has been closed before being actually resolved.

[Moderator Comment: Topic reopened and posts merged.]

So opening again.
The new Rosalia Lux album is on Qobuz

  1. doesn’t appear naturally in Roon.
  2. doesn’t appear in Roon after marking it as Favourite in Qobuz.
  3. doesn’t appear in Roon after creating a playlist in Qobuz with the album (playlist appears empty in Roon).

Not happy, Roon is expensive for having that kind of issue (and I am an old time Roon subscriber).

If I had £1 for every thread created on a Friday about a new release not showing, I’d be Elon Musk the 2nd.

It’s not guaranteed that any, let alone all new releases on Qobuz or Tidal will appear on Friday within Roon.

Annoying, yes, but mostly out of Roon’s hands. It’s reliant on them having the data in the data dumps from the providers.

If you like the album, you could buy it

As we all know, this helps the artist a bit more than streaming.

I already pay the artist through my Qobuz subscription, and I also on top pay a subscription for Roon.
I am surprised you claim it is out of Roon hands. Can you elaborate ?

I did

Paid per stream, and I said helps more

FWIW - Tidal subscribers also don’t have it showing. Must have been a late release :man_shrugging:

Data dump ? Qobuz offers an online REST API, why would you rely on a data dump ?

The release was yesterday at 12:00 CET.

Not to Room they don’t, they have a deep custom integration, and if new albums miss the cut off then they have to wait for the next upload. Same for Tidal as we.

An artist might get $0.01 for a stream yet get $9.50 for a $10 purchase on BandCamp.

It’s all personal preference, but I generally stream my first listen and if I like an album or band and it is available on BandCamp I will buy it to properly support the artist. Only the bigger artists make a real living from streaming

It hasn’t yet arrived in Qobuz in Europe the Netherlands apparently, so I can’t use the workaround of adding it from Qobuz into Roon. Only the Single (Berghain) is currently available…

I live in Europe, Spain to be precise, and I have Lux available on my Qobuz app since yesterday.

Germany, is there and plays fine:

It’s arrived on Qobuz and Tidal via Roon in the UK. :grin:

OK, so it’s just us Dutchies (or just me…) who are not seeing it in Qobuz yet…

Edit: so I searched in Qobuz for releases from Rosalía - I should have just looked at the New Releases page:

Clearly, Qobuz’s search engine hasn’t indexed it yet…

And it’s now in my Roon library after making it a favourite in Qobuz…

The sync process isn’t real time but periodic, so there will inevitably be some lag. At one time, TIDAL shared new release information before the release date, which wasn’t displayed in Roon until release.

However, that stopped for some reason. If I was a betting man, I’d put money on the record labels stopping this.

Also, IIRC, Roon is dependent on the streaming service presenting the information, and sometimes they miss the submission deadline (there are threads about this is you dig a little.)

There’s always one :zany_face:
