What has happened is not good!. (regarding loosing meta data, playlist etc). for rest of us who might be upgrading please read below ... "Back Up" of "Roon" Folder is important
Copied From 147 build release.
Once you’re running Build 147, your database will be upgraded to the new format. While we’ve done extensive testing on this process, we strongly recommend that everyone make a backup63 (https://kb.roonlabs.com/FAQ:_How_do_I_ba...atabase%3F) before installing this release, especially if you’ve changed operating systems in the past.
VERY VERY good point.
I have worked out what the problem was.
For some very odd reason my sT thought that it had mounted an SMB network share, in other words it was pointing to my NAS, and Roon was scanning this folder. So it started importing lots of albums I already had and this was creating havoc with my metadata. That's why I had duplicates of everything.
Oddly I had been running Roon successfully for a few weeks without this problem.
When I first got my sT I set it up with a mount without thinking it through properly (I am generally pretty computer illiterate) but I did delete this soon after. For some reason it evidently wasn't properly deleted. See below:
The clues came when (on Mike's request) I checked the pathways of my albums and they all seemed to contain "nas".
Anyway I removed the SMB share name, saved it, and restarted Roon Server and then rebooted the sT. Then I went back into Roon on my Mac and watched the album numbers go down.
Everything is now back to normal, what a relief!!!
