I do not understand why you would go into battle to put down a reasonable request and to argue against it, unless the request fundamentally changes the way Roon works in other aspects such that Roon is degraded. The only appropriate responses from other Roon Users are to say “Yes, that would be good, I also vote for this”, or to post a method of doing what is requested or a workaround. How can that not be so?įeature Requests is a stream where Roon Users can post requests for changes or additional features that they would like to see made available. If the Roon Library Cleanup is proposing to delete database entries or pointers, it is perfectly reasonable for a User to want to easily and quickly know what source or target objects are involved. Roon is fundamentally a Music Library Management, Integration and Delivery tool. It seems what you want is for Roon to monitor your library and be able to report back when any files are removed or made unavailable for any reason and you want a detailed list of said files. It will also increase the UI complexity and take away from coding resources that could be utilized to make Roon better for everyone, not just those that want to see what files may have gone missing…or not. Like I said, what you want will increase support enquires. I would love to hear how this could be implemented with an appropriate UI for all customers to understand and use. Source for the third checkbox: files unavailable because the storage location or account they are associate with are disabled. Source for the second check box: files unavailable from a storage location that no longer exists. Source for the first check box: files that have been deleted via Roon, deleted from the file system, or removed from a streaming service. No, Roon tells you the source and the reason but not the individual file names. If the entries (files) had been listed they would have had much better information to start with and find out if it was an easily correctable local problem, rather than having to immediately contact Support. They had to contact Support to try and figure out what was going on and get advice on how to correct it. There are existing, fairly recent entries in this Support section by people who had hundreds or thousands of entries Roon wanted to delete. I want Roon to explcitly tell me which entries, corresponding to which missing files, it proposes to delete. If, for whatever reason, hardware, software, or user error, some files can’t be found by Roon any more, I don’t want to go off examining all my monitored locations to see if anything (based on my perfect knowledge and exact memory of every file they should contain) is missing (or had its security or filename accidentally changed). They spell out the reason that Roon wants to clean up some entries, without providing any information from the entries themselves which could be used to identify which particular files went missing. The 3 sections do NOT spell out the source of the files. I did use Plex for a while and recall liking it but don't have recent experience.I’m afraid we’re not writing English using the same meanings for all the words. I'd probably go Roon if I ever went back to the OCD music life. I notice some oddities here and there, for example Cibo Matto have Brian Eno's artist thumbnail (go figure). The options "Keep Music Media folder organised" and "Copy files to Music Media folder when adding to library" are enabled and have been forever, and since iCloud became a thing "Sync Library" as well. My only recent imports are ad hoc and infrequent so that doesn't appear to cause catastrophe. I had things on a Synology NAS once upon a time, those were dark days. But I've given up organising in general (same for email) since searching on macOS (or OS X really) became a reasonably reliable thing. I've done a minimum of organising, mostly to consolidate a few things under main artist instead of collabs etc (Eno wins my prize for maximum iterations) or minor tidying. That material and things I've added later form my library (which is exposed in Music.app via the Artists view in Library on the desktop). In certain cases material that isn't on the streams, so worth keeping. I have what you might call legacy CD rips from iTunes now in Apple Music, uploaded when iTunes Match was still a thing iirc.
