· Folder Issue: I have over 3k albums. Roon points to one folder on my NAS. That folders has all the albums in it. Each album is in a folder of its own. They all show up in Roon. Except for one. I've followed the instructions, I've checked skipped files, I've changed the names on the track to something very simple. Then, out of desperation, I pointed Roon to that specific folder. Whaamo: it appeared and works fine. What's my next move? I would rather just have Roon point to one folder. Further, I'm concerned that there are albums that are not appearing in Roon. Thanks, John

The code parsing the watched folder path may not be using the same ‘rules’ as the code parsing the folders below the root when scanning; I don’t think your deduction necessarily holds.
That notwithstanding, there’s nothing obviously ‘wrong’ (to me, anyway) with your folder naming, so I’m out…
If you navigate to ‘storage’ in ‘settings’, and select the ‘three dots’ icon of your watched folder, then ‘edit’, you will see at the bottom of the popup a list of ‘ignored paths’ strings. I’m not convinced they are the same for every implementation, but if any of the strings match a path under your watched folder, Roon will ignore it.
Norah Jones’s ‘… featuring’ got me; I’ve seen reports that Maroon 5 don’t show up either (because the folder name matches a ‘roon’ string) although they do on my system - hence the caveat above…
John, could you also head to Roon Settings > Library > Clean up library, and snap a screenshot of what you see? Don’t perform the library clean up, just take a picture of it.
