Most non-English music is classified under a single banner - International! This makes Roon Radio extremely ineffective. eg. as someone who listens to music from India in 5 different languages, Roon radio often queues music in one of the languages I do not speak, because it classifies everything as ‘International Music’.
This seems to be an easy fix for Roon to be simply able to read the music metadata and identify the language.
While your Feature Suggestion is an interesting one for Roon Labs to consider, in the meantime have you tried starting Roon Radio in one of the Indian subgenres?
While the top-level genre may be “International”, it has subgenres, one of which is “Indian Subcontinent Traditions”. That in turn can have many subgenres below it, e.g…
As usual, the quality of your Roon Radio listening experience will be governed by the quality of the metadata - so metadata with the subgenre “Indian” is very broad and not a particularly useful category…
Hey thanks for the reply. Yes the subgenre Indian is quite broad. I was currently listening to this song.
This is in the Assamese language, and classified under Stage & Screen. If it was not for the artist, it would not have shown up:
What metadata on this album do you think would allow us to do this? All of the metadata sources we have list everything in the Latin script; and language detection within a script, particularly if transliteration is involved, is not really possible.
