FAQ: Why didn't Roon find any metadata for my album?

Roon uses our own proprietary process to identify as much of your collection as possible, but there may be some songs or albums in your collection we're not able to match.

Usually this is because your version of the album doesn't match any of the versions in our database. This can be related to the information contained in your files (file tags), or the lengths of the songs or album as a whole.

The easiest way to find a match is to click Edit on the album page (under the "3 dots" menu), then pick Identify Album. We'll search our database and show you a couple of potential matches that weren't quite close enough for us to use automatically.

Select the best match for your album, and make sure the tracks match up with your copy -- you may need to rearrange the order to get it perfect.

Once you've approved the new match, Roon will pull down all the information associated with the album, and your album will be updated. You can also find lots more information about how to make sure your collection get identified here.
