Roon doesn’t yet talk Linux lingo so I’m on a MacBook Air with OS X versions of Bliss and Roon applied to a small sample library.
Jaikoz saving metadata windows#
It runs on OS X, Linux and Windows but also comes pre-installed as standard on Vortexbox-derived music servers (like those of New Zealand’s Antipodes Audio). Pushing its point(s) of difference still further, Bliss runs in the background as a server daemon, watching and waiting for metadata changes. Change the metadata and Bliss will relocate the affected files accordingly. It can then restructure files and folders according to that metadata. It adds cover art sourced from the web and allows for basic tag correction. Shout out to Dan!īliss is a little different to most other music file tagging applications. I’ve been a Bliss user since 2011 and so it was a pleasure to finally meet its developer Dan Gravell at this year’s Munich High-End Show. Assisting with audio file tagging at DAR HQ are mp3tag and (the rather excellent) Bliss. Much like our own bodies (and minds), it takes diligence and time to keep a library in shape. Metadata is sacrosanct for the serious digital audiophile. As such, Part 1b name-checks The Orb and not Pink Floyd. What’s on the backside of the Roon: benevolent dictator or user-managed official? Let’s investigate.īut first, a quick detour… Bliss developer Dan Gravell at Munich High End 2015. Ebaen’s enquiry is of sufficient import to warrant a dedicated post, whose side-spill will also benefit the Roon-curious. “Could you chime in on whether that’s true – or whether such users overlooked a bypass feature somewhere that wouldn’t have touched their meta-data changes?”
Now Roon reads/assimilates your library and voilà, they’re back to all being called the same as they were before you retagged them as you wanted them to appear.”
You’ve given them particular names to keep ’em apart.
“Let’s say you’ve got three albums of the same, differing only in resolution. In the comments section of the first slab of Roon coverage chief 6mooner Srajan Ebaen writes, “I’ve hesitated installing Roon after reading user feedback that it retags their custom tags to instead conform with how albums are tagged by their own reference data bases.”
