If you can I would suggest taking a small subset of your collection and creating a copy elsewhere so you can experiment with it. I think it’s going to be quite time consuming and laborious. If you are decided on Roon then there’s some work ahead to make this work for you. I suspect that many or most of your albums are not being identified due to the lack of metadata in your tracks. Once it’s done this it does a pretty good job. Whilst Roon does use its own metadata it uses your metadata as a starting point to identify the album correctly. This is in contrast to my convention which uses the composer’s Last Name only.ĭoes Roon have a preference for displaying composer? Does it use First and Laat Name!p? Or just Last Name? Frequently the Title field will display this way:Ĭomposer First Name Last Name: Composition I also have some music in AIFF format and some music in FLAC format contributed from various sources. Is there any downside to using Roon’s Title field the same way as I used Naim’s Title field? I would like to continue to use the Title field in this way in Roon. The result was an almost perfectly alphabetized collection under “Album Display”. All my music with a composer is edited as follows in the Title field:Ĭomposer surname: Album title (usually the composition)Īlternatively, for albums devoted to an artist I would edit the Title field like this:Įg: Joan Sutherland: Coloratura Spectacular In order to do that I had to manipulate the Title field. Therefore I found it convenient to force the display of my albums in alphabetical order. Problem 4: Naim has a reduced feature set compared to Roon. Problem 3: Is there a field for Conductor? I can’t seem to find it, so I have been adding the conductor as another Artist. How do I edit these albums so they are properly combined? Occasionally, the additional discs are so widely separated in the display I can’t always find the other discs. Instead it displays two identical album covers side by side. But often it doesn’t bundle multiple,disc albums together. It is supposed to combine them under one album cover. Problem 2: Roon fails to handle multi-disc albums properly in many cases. How do I delete that now irrelevant entry? but “Various Artists” remains as though it is one of the artists. I want to delete this field (or override it with an artist), when I “add an artist”. As soon as I start editing to add artists to an album, the “Various Artists” field becomes irrelevant. In those cases it uses a category called “Various Artists”. Problem 1: Roon doesn’t add artist data to a majority of my albums. I need some help in understanding Roon so I can do smart editing. It has created a LOT of editing for me, almost every single album must be edited. That is most unfortunate because my heavily curated music file metadata is rendered unuseable and Roon has less than its usual information to recognize and interpret my music. It is also unreadable by SongKong, which I had wrongly counted on to interpret Naim’s otherwise unreadable WAV metadata, because SongKong supports only thr UnitiServe.
UNFORTUNATELY, Naim uses a proprietary version of WAV which is unreadable by Roon. It was originally ripped and processed by the Naim Uniti Core as WAV. I just sent my 3 Tb music collection, almost all opera and classical, to Roon.

I have the Roon Core on my Windows 10 Professional, Core i7 computer and I am using the iPad Air as controller I hope some of you using Roon can help answer some of my Roon questions so that the editing may proceed wisely. So Roon was greatly handicapped when presented with my 3 Tb of music files, not having access to my meticulously edited metadata, and the result is a major mess. Not only that but the way the UnitiServe’s metadata file is organized is different from the way the Uniti Core’s metadata is organized so revising SongKong to handle UnitiCore’s version of WAV is a big job. I had heard that Song Kong could rescue me, but it turns out it doesn’t work with the output of the Uniti Core, though it does work with UnitiServe (oh no!). I quickly learned that Roon cannot process my Naim generated WAV files because they are proprietary to Naim (oh no!).
So I decided to move to Roon, which also offers seamless access to the use of Qobuz or Tidal and Internet Radio.

I want to expand my listening experience from the Naim Uniti Core to all four of my stereo systems, Living Room, TV Room and both Windows Computers.
