WhenYou add music to Library and Roon doesn’t recognize it. Does Roon try to do it again for example next month ?

If you have unidentified music, it’s likely that your id3 tags are very bad or non existent. Change that, and you’ll never have an issue.

It’s true that Roon can’t carry out miracles on badly organised, labelled or presented files. And yet people still insist that it isn’t working as it should because a few of their rare, poorly ripped and unorganised files aren’t showing up. My point is that 5 minutes sorting your files out makes th…
