Hi,

On the first, it works for me. I effectively ported the system I had for filing my Vinyl and my CD's back in the last Millennium, which in turn goes back to - oh well forever, probably my public library when I was 6 and could borrow LP's.

If I do that I might as well -rm-rf them, because if I do that I WILL never listen to them.

I know, I'm an anachrophile and latter day luddite. Now where is my hammer to smash up that newly fangled komputer maschine of yours?

Well, each Album is a separate Folder with a folder.jpg containing the cover art I want (in case I care about it) Double Albums naturally with suitable prefixes on the track number.
It works great for me. For example, using the Music Section in Media Portal I can choose to prefer folder.jpg for music and to browse the collection by "shares", read folder libraries... And it works browsing a network share from USB Audio Player Pro. And using any other player I have ever used.

I leave the original where I can.

Or the week before armageddon.
My point is, I do not want to change my system, because it is nearly 20 Years old (on the computer side - overall more) and has grown organically over this time. And if a software that claims user friendliness as key goal and one of the reasons why we should pay subscription, then I expect it to be friendly to the three users called me, myself & I.
I know, selfish, luddite me.
Now where did I put that hammer again?

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to untolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?

If you're 20 years into computer audio, you should know better.
You shouldn't expect anybody - no software, no family, no nothing,
- except you - to be able to cope with your "organic mess".
Enjoy your management by file.
Obviously you got stuck somewhere around somewhat 20 years ago.
Peace. ;)
Enjoy.
Hi,
Yet any software I ever used (and the number is legion) except roon does cope and well. So to me that makes roon the 'odd one out".
Heck, I use the same system for other digital media too and it works there fine as well...

This is a problem when you try to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes copying what works is the way to go....
