Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· None of the above quite fits

None of the above quite fits

· None of these quite match

Tell us what's going on

· I want to see my music just lik in the apple music app and use my own genres, for example "Tex-Mex, Cajun, Zydeco" as one group of albums; whatever import options I choose, roon displays "Avantgarde", "Bühne und Leinwand" etc., which I never chose or used ... this topic is the reason why I want to switch to roon after ten years using sonos which deteriorates rapidly ... and destroys my music library by taking apart albums in ten or fifteen pieces. Thank you in advance, Peter

Tell us about your home network

· Right now I´m in a free trial phase and use the music folder of my macbook an play music on two pairs of sonos speakers. As soon as roon works, I will buy a server.

@peterwamser,

Thanks for your question.

If I understand your request correctly, you are looking to assign your own custom tags to tracks, playlists, or albums.

This is absolutely possible in Roon. You can create custom Tags and apply them to almost any item in your library. Once applied, you can browse them via the Tags section in the sidebar or use them to filter content.

If this isn’t exactly what you are looking for, could you please clarify a bit more? Screenshots of what you are trying to achieve would also be very helpful.

Thanks.

Hi @peterwamser,

It’s probably worth reading Roon’s metadata model so you get a sense of how Roon differs from traditional music management software.

Here’s a deeper dive on how to use tags flexibly to accomplish the custom genre nomenclature you’re after:

Let us know if we can answer any questions. Thanks!
