You can also merge artists.
- Ensure that you have at least one album in the library where the artist is credited
- Multi-select at least two artists that you want to merge
- Click the Merge button that should appear top right
- Choose the artist that shall “survive” (typically the one that has the best biography and picture)
- After merging, you can remove the albums (that you just added to enable the merging) from the library if you want.
- You can un-merge artists in Settings > Library
Note that sometimes Roon may create a duplicate artist (with the same name as an existing one) when you import an album from local storage. This happens most of the time (always?) only if the “proper” artist known to Roon (with bio and picture) is not credited on any identified album in the Roon library at the time of the import.
You can avoid this (end hence later merging) by ensuring that the proper credit exists, by adding an identified album with this credit to the library before doing the album import - this is easiest by using a streaming service.
In a related way, during manual credit editing Roon finds the “proper” existing artist only if they are credited on an identified album that is already in the Roon library. If during editing you can’t find an artist that you know should be there, once again ensure that you have an identified album with this credit in the Roon library before editing.
