Hi,  
I’ve long ago noticed that, for some reason, Roon does not use Qobuz/Tidal metadata when identifying files for its library.  
Let’s say I have an album in my library that’s a Qobuz favorite. Fine. Then I like it and buy it from Qobuz. I add the files to Roon. And guess what? Roon can’t identify it, neither automatically nor by trying to manually identify it.  
This is a big request for me, as “unidentified” albums are a general nuisance in an otherwise nicely organized library!

thanks,  
Alex

Streaming providers don’t license metadata except as part of streaming the corresponding content.
