Roon does however have major issues with metadata (which it sources from Rovi). I have tried Roon on and off and if you have never modified the CD rips (joined tracks for example), Roon does a fairly good job of identifying your albums. If you hate the functionality and associated complexity of jRiver, the only solution that I see is Roon. After 15 years and three re-ripping cycles (using dbpoweramp) I am afraid that there is no free lunch. I know how you feel, having gone through the same issues with a >100'000 track library. I've heard of MusicBrainz, Foobar, Discogs, TuneUp, Beets, Jriver, MP3Tag.Īll of my music is on a Synology NAS and my experience with dBPoweramp is it is VERY, VERY SLOoften just getting bogged down and stopping altogether. I used dBPoweramp to rip much of it but not all. I only really need a dozen or so Genres, right? Maybe sub-Genres? I have a thousand Genres and well you can guess the rest. I love my music but the digitizing has been both a blessing and a curse overall. I want to listen to Pearl Jam, Go to Rock, then maybe choose an album by year or album name. I want to listen to Baroque music, I go to the Classical section and then the Baroque subsection then look for a specific album.(I know, with Classical it's even more of a pain because half the albums are by the composer and half are by the Conductor, or the featured musician.). I think of my NAS library as a record store. not even talking about the messes that the various artist CD's turned into when I ripped them. My question is toward whatever software you folk use to tidy up your metadata. I hate using many of the features that make JRiver, Asset, etc. I have 60k songs and because of the mess with regards to tags/metadata/whateveryouwanttocallit. Okay, I'm neglectful and I made many mistakes along the way while collecting, and 'organizing' my music library.
