![]() Interesting way of filing, Jud-thanks! All of my PCM files are in Apple Music (formerly iTunes), which, using the "Grouping" category, organizes everything nicely for me. Of course many people have long since organized their own collections differently and won't be able to use this method, but for anyone who is able to and would like to, there it is. So no matter what metadata is added or displayed, I can find albums and artists according to the way I've organized them. ![]() I then use Audio File Location as the first sorting criterion for albums and tracks in AS. I might have a symphony recording in the Beethoven folder, but might have a Sudbin recording of Beethoven under the artist's name, because that is how I remember and can find them. So the following should not be taken as advice, but simply a possible alternative for those who would like to and are able to use it. My advice is if you can get roon working correctly it is the defacto “best” software, I will never go back to foobar or any other software as long as their servers are active.Regarding metadata, I recognize that many users have various good reasons for not wanting anything added or displayed other than their own methods. It’s unfortunate with the current audirvana situation though, i demoed it before i decided to go with roon and it wasn’t bad per say actually quite a streamlined experience but ultimately i though it was a little too streamlined and “dumbed” down for my usecase. There however can be a little tag/library matenance you will have to do yourself for certain instances, mostly artist duplicates and some inconsistencies in album sorting but this mostly hinges on the preexisting tags for the stuff the software can’t indentify, if you have done due diligence with tagging your files it makes alot of this a non issue. Yes there are some obscure stuff that it can’t identify but it still appropriately imports the tags and sorts correctly. As someone who has almost a terabyte of Japanese music roon work pretty damn well with my collection. as long as your files are tagged correctly it should still show up correctly in the library. What do you mean it can’t find it? if roon can’t identify the album and match with it’s database it should still import the album directly to the library regardless but will pull the track/album info from the tags instead. Have you any experience with Audirvana Studio? Which player Software are you using? The only reason I need a player software in the first place is for playing music that I can’t find on spotify or other streaming services. I wish I could use Roon but when I tested it, it simply cannot find most of my anime soundtrack and other nieche music and therefore those albums don’t show up in the library. This would be easily be fixable in foobar but you don’t have this option in audirvana studio.Īt the end, I just returned to foobar which has all options you could want. I see many albums appear multiply times and albums which have different artists in it being splitted despite having the same album artist. To see my music I have to scroll down to ‘local’ where I can only select ‘albums’, ‘artists’ and ‘tracks’. When I select ‘my music’ in the left section menu, it shows nothing. ![]() I don’t need my music to be analysed, why can’t I turn this off? When you start the program, it starts analysing all your music and the progress bar never finishes. Except for some fancy upsampling and ‘kernel streaming’ there aren’t any stand-out features imho. It even looks shitty because for some reason all text is smaller than it should be and has no anti aliasing filter, so it looks pixely. I also had the old Audirvana for it’s 40 days free trial period and it was quite nice and I thought about getting it, because Roon is too expensive for me.Īudirvana Studio on the other hand feels like absolute trash compared. You can get a 30 day free trial without giving them any credit card information so I tested it out. Audirvana has new player software now, which similarly to Roon needs a subsciption.
