G’day,
So I’ve just ripped my copy of The Beatles Abbey Road Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition. It has three CDs and a Blu-Ray.
The discs are labelled:
Abbey Road - CD One - 2019 Mix
Abbey Road - CD Two - Sessions
Abbey Road - CD Three - Sessions
Abbey Road - Blu-Ray Audio
Right now I have the follow directory and metadata setup.
The Beatles - Abbey Road [2019 Mix]
Artist: The Beatles
Album: Abbey Road [2019 Mix]
Year: 2019
Disc: 1
The Beatles - Abbey Road Sessions
CD2
Artist: The Beatles
Album: Abbey Road Sessions
Year: 2019
Disc: 2
CD3
Artist: The Beatles
Album: Abbey Road Sessions
Year: 2019
Disc: 3
Eventually I hope to also add the following from the Blu-Ray:
96kHz/24 bit High Res Stereo.
Now I also have two older versions of this album:
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Artist: The Beatles
Album: Abbey Road
Year: 1969
Disc: 1
The Beatles - Abbey Road [2009 Digital Remaster]
Artist: The Beatles
Album: Abbey Road [2009 Digital Remaster]
Year: 2009
Disc: 1
Roon isn’t handling the above setup well. I can’t see the older versions. I’m not being shown a Versions option.
The only entry I’m currently seeing in Roon is ‘The Beatles - Abbey Road’, and Roon is only showing me the Disc 2 and Disc 3 tracks of those session CDs. Everything else is missing in action.
What changes do I need to the directory structure and metadata in order to get Roon to handle it all properly?
Roon seems to really struggle when a collector has multiple versions and extended release versions of albums. There doesn’t seem to be a consistent way to get it right. Each case seems to be handled differently.
Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.
