Roon 1.8

It’s the profound sense of relief that it works at all…

Thanks, indeed. I looked again and in fact the album recording date where it is missing was in the Roon metadata already. (I added track dates and locations manually and had wrongly thought I had also added the album date). So this seems to be the difference.

If you expand the review you should see the recording dates. But I agree it’s a bit confusing.

LOL, thank you! Makes no sense at all. (And this info should be independent of reviews and always be in the same place, as mentioned …)

I don’t see the recording dates by expanding the review, strange.
Could you post a screen shot?

I have noticed that the release date is shown to the right of the cover above the title, in the case of Diamond Head in my example it only has 1981 in the metadata, but on most others there is the full date.

Problem is I don’t even remember now what 1.7 showed!
There are some inconsistencies though in different views which probably shouldn’t be there.

Another one, this caught me out in the past but is now worse:

If you select several tracks for editing, 1.7 showed a big edit button top right. You had to click this to edit all select tracks. When selecting several tracks and then opening the edit box from one track (at the 3-dot menu) it would only edit the one track.

Now in 1.8 this edit button does not prominently appear but is hidden in the main 3-dot menu. Not easy to discover

It should be there if it’s in the meta data.

İs an LPS on Nucleus+ worthwhile investment?

If there is NO review of the album, then the data are in one line, if there is a review, the data are shown one the right side, but only if you expand the review.
Why it is this way? I don’t know.

How on earth did I miss that!
Thanks @MrStreamer

It’s pretty obvious they didn’t have a consistency manager. I forget what that’s called in the film industry, the person who makes sure everything from take to take is placed exactly the same, but they need one of those.

Because it’s utterly illogical :slight_smile:
Maybe one could argue that expanding the review shows an interest in details, but:

  • I want to take a look at recording date without reading the same review every time
  • why, then, show it always when there is no review

Continuity person…

Ah yes of course (and I actually shot a low budget feature film once - nightmare). My wife - who’s German and a PM at Microsoft - always says she’d make a great continuity person. She pretty much ruined the car chase scene in Bullit for me by pointing out the green VW bug that keeps showing up throughout the entirety of it.

That’s actually continuity not consistency, but yes they have people on set to make this happens, although they mess up a lot too.

I don’t have the date info showing plus I pressed the wrong icon and more worryingly have a Phil Collins album saved :grimacing:
Apologies I see it now you have to expand the page.

They need some image recognition for the artist circles.

Funny how we all use things differently - never used these ratings, but I was quite peeved when they removed ‘Purchased’ from the Qobuz interface because some people got upset about Purchase history being merged with local downloads - it really didn’t seem to be to be a particularly difficult nut to crack to solve this without excluding a Purchased section (and without having to manually tag downloads which might be an incomplete list of purchases).

That’s partially why I hate these circle thingies - there’s one for a female artist where most of the image is of a bloke, she just about gets her hooter in. (hooter=nose)
