Any Way To Search This Field In Roon

[The Computer Audiophile]

I have a bunch of albums with XRCD24 Audio Wave in this field, but I can't find a way to search the field. I could adjust the title of the album, but I still have to find the albums among 21,000 albums.

Question for community.roonlabs.com, no?

Thought someone here may have an idea :~)

In album view, select Focus, and then Format (at the right, probably you have to move the screen view to the left).

This works for all formats I have, so I assume Xrcd should be selectable as well

Hi Dirk - This isn't a format, it's something auto generated by Roon based on my album name / folder structure. Also, XRCD isn't a format that appears in the focus.

Roon calls it a version.

I tend separate out albums Roon processes as duplicates just so I can see them when viewing the grid.

I don't think you can search the "version" field. I always found that strange, but perhaps they don't want you to search it because people use it in so many different ways. All I can suggest (since it is in your folder naming system) is to search your folder system using the finder or windows explorer, identify the albums and just tag them in Roon as "XRCD24". Searching for tags works really well. I don't know what else to do.

That's exactly what I started doing yesterday. (Not so) Great minds think alike :~)

Did some searching in the Roon knowledge base. You can search within file paths in the tracks view. This will do it:

Just tried it and it works. Still best to add a tag once you have found all the albums.
