We've started looking at providing better support for Roon.

The main issue seem to be the correct storage of credits so that Roon will process them. We're attempting to get sufficient information from Roon in order to make it easier (or possible) to apply credits.

Roon provides several ways to define "Album Version". They describe album version as "information used to represent distinguishing information about the album like 'Remastered' or 'SACD'. One method they can use to set this is to "extract album version from the VERSION tag". I haven't been able to find the ability to set the VERSION tag in Yate. Am I missing something?

You can see a reference to a VERSION tag here: https://kb.roonlabs.com/File_Tag_Best_Practice

Thanks for the quick reply. I created a UDTI called VERSION and set it for one album. I'll be able to confirm this worked once Roon finishes scanning.

In terms of the approach involving custom fields, after mapping as shown above, where do I actually go to populate this for an album?

I just saw the "it worked" out while I was typing this 🙂

If you want to view Custom fields in the UI you have to create a Custom Panel with the Custom Panel Editor. There are samples on the resources page. There's one in the User Contributed area and one in the Audirvana download. There will be a Roon sample once the Roon work is done.

Yate v3.16 Preview 1 is available with the new Combined Credits Manager and Roon settings. If you'd like to be put on the preview list please contact us at support@2manyrobots.com .... registered users only please.
