Classical music tips

I am happy to try Ben but this is (at least sometimes) easier said than done.

First there is the issue of metadata quality. Which artists/performers are tagged and which aren’t? Especially with compilations and re-releases this can be very hit-and-miss. Then there is the issue of a bug in Roon (which is my preferred UI, can’t remember if you use it) and the way it interprets the metadata from (in my case) Qobuz. All of this is summarised in this post from the end of last year so I won’t regurgitate it all here. Roon has confirmed the existence of the bug but not yet fixed it.

So to comply with your request we will have to go into Qobuz and see exactly which of the metadata are tagged and which aren’t.

Thankfully most of the time this isn’t an issue, but Sod’s Law holds that it will probably affect at least some of my recommendations!

PS Searching on “Gyorgy” îs not going to help you much, it is György Sebők’s given name not his surname. It is the Hungarian version of George and pretty common.
