Once your album/boxset is correctly tagged, you need to create a Musicbrainz account if you don’t have one already.119, BB 127 (completed by Tibor Serly).” Same for composers, performers, etc… For Roon’s benefit, it’s really important to use WORK and PART tags as explained in the Roon Knowledge Base article I linked to above. For example, “Bartók’s 3rd Piano Concerto” has the following canonical name in AllMusic (which Roon uses): “ Piano Concerto No. When in doubt, I use AllMusic (I have a paid subscription there that makes this easier). One important trick is to use “canonical” names for composers and works. When you do this, the tags are added to the FLAC music files, totally outside Roon, but Roon can then ingest the information. You can get a good idea of what tags to set and how here. Use an ID3 tag editor to add the appropriate tags to each track in the album/boxset.Unless it’s very difficult, it seems worthwhile to add metadata to Musicbrainz because then it’s available for your own music library. The biggest boxset I ever edited was Boulez’s complete conductor works on CBS, I think 56 discs (I’m away from my Roon right now). Even if you wanted to, I’d recommend starting with something smaller, like a single album, as multidisc, multiwork sets are tricky to get right. But it’s a lot of work, I would not recommend it unless you want to give your metadata efforts back to the world. Some of us are obsessive enough to have become editors on Musicbrainz and spend time adding missing metadata for obscure recordings. Even then, the boxset will be unidentified because it does not connect to known metadata sources. Your only reliable choice is to use a separate ID3 tag editor (such as Metadatics on Mac) to add all the relevant metadata to the ripped files so that Roon can digest the information. I could not find any metadata for it on Musicbrainz, AllMusic, or Discogs. That boxset is from “The Intense Media.” a budget reissuer of previously recorded tracks. Unfortunately, there is no metadata, no title, no cover art, no track information, nothing to guide me in attaching the appropriate metadata.
