Search is broken, it is indefensible

How can I identify albums that aren’t able to be identified?

Don’t know if this has been answered. I am too aggravated about the thread to read much further.

You can find what albums are unidentified by using ‘Focus’ from the album page to find the identified albums and reversing the criteria.

Once you get all the unidentified albums in Focus, you can set up a Bookmark that will dynamically update with any future unidentified albums.

There is no way to mark an album as identified even if I have input all the correct metadata manually myself, which I usually do.

This helped me -

An ongoing Search problem (e.g. Searching for Reich's Drumming)

This is probably at the root of the issue, although I’m not sure if this should be causing Roon to not return in results. Try to fix the unidentified and your results should change. Roon’s own docs for correcting an unidentified album are fairly terrible (IMHO) so you may run into plenty of questions as you start down the path of identifying this album. Community will be your friend when you run into questions.

And yes, the suckiness of Roon’s Search is indefensible, but it seems like a good will effort to fix that is being made. These posters that want to make it seem like it’s your fault are not unbiased when reading what you’re posting.
