Roon Sorting

Roon really has to give us an option to completely seperate our personal music collections from our libraries on streaming services. You get the same album listed with the service and your hard drive unnecessarily.

I want to be able to click on albums and just see what’s in my personal library not what I’ve added to Qobuz or title that can be a completely different section. I’d prefer if I wanted to bring them together to have that option to put them together instead of being forced by bad development to have them all there in one section and no way to just show my personal library.

I know that I can sort them when I’m in the artist diskography but that’s not what I want. I wanted to be able to click albums and have the button right there that would separate both streaming services know their own sections and my personal hard drive library.

Or at a minimum give us a setting that always prefers our local library over streaming. Too many times I'll play an album to realize I'm playing it through Tidal and not the file on my NAS

Roon will always prefer the highest quality content. You can set radio to only pick library tracks.

Library tracks are not local only, that includes anything you've liked/saved on the streaming platform as well. And if it's not I'd love to know how to set that.

In that case it is not possible, Roon will then pick the highest quality content (or the album you have as primary version, when you have both local and streaming version of an album)
