Description Of Issue
I have Apple Music iTunes before using Roon. Need to keep both software because there are music that can only be found in either of them. My high quality music files and Tidal album is stored in my SoTM music server. The Apple Music is stored in my Mac and iCloud. Is it possible for Roon to access my Apple Music in iTunes and play it from there?
Is it considered as another Core to play the Apple Music and I have to do another subscription?
Yes, you would share the ~/music/media/music folder, add the smb share to Roon from Settings > Storage > Add Folder. Roon can only index and play Apple music files that exist locally/downloaded.
Is it considered as another Core to play the Apple Music and I have to do another subscription?
You can add the location on the Mac as a watched folder and all of those files will be available to Roon.
By default all of these will be considered a part of the same library. You can use focus to choose only a specific watched folder, though, if you’d like to see only content from one location.
If you select a folder, all the sub folders will be included. For example, if you have a Music folder with all your artists and albums in it, you just select Music folder.
Are you talking about stopping Roon from watching the folder? If you delete a folder outside of Roon, Roon won’t see it anymore. If you delete an iTunes album in Roon, it will delete the album in your iTunes folder.
If you have all your 3 star albums under a single folder, you could have Roon watch it.
Maybe you could show us your iTunes folder structure and we can offer suggestions.
