Consider this as conservative expectation management…
What would you state, when you had a promise to make?
Don’t know to be honest - but since the issues are known already a long time, Rose could have started much earlier. I’m owner since 08/21 - so soon 3 years - out of warranty etc. just saying.
As a customer, we can only accept and wait until a fix is here (for those who are not willing to spend extra money for Hard- and Software with Roon).
And if they really fix it - we must be thankful for it - I already had other experiences with Eastern Companies, stopping support after 2 yrs - leaving the customers with buggy and unfinished products.

I see your point. Hopefully, this is a different story, as Rose is having a platform to serve their complete catalogue. If they build it smart and modular, I hope al of us can come a long way with their products.
There’s definitely an issue with cover art. I have ripped 100+ dvds onto a SSD on my RS250a and barely any of the cover art shows up on the main video screen. If you go to Folders though, they show. It’s really frustrating
This is an example page with the available fields of a music file just about to be written in to a FLAC file.
This information should also be read and written by the Rose DB and Client application on Windows and Android and Apple… in order to able to search, find, filter, list with the client applications and finally listen to the selection. Also some of the information like photographer is a bit to much but this is Discogs.
Hello. I hope that this update takes place sooner. You can check the method that Sony did with the HAP-Z1ES. The files are registered to the database when tranfered from the pc and only when tags are missing only then used gracenote to fill the missing tags and covers. It was slow back then but the job was perfect. Also you can edited all the tags as you pleased from the android/ios app. Every single small detail. The limitation was that you can only trasnfer files with one instance running only so that the player can register the tracks to it’s database. They had also a small windows/mac app for syncing. The database was created to it’s internal 1tb 2.5" hdd. I think that 10 years later with far more fast player in terms of cpu,ram you can do much much better things. If you cannot do it just take the advice from Sony’s developers.
Is it not really much simpler and ergonomic to edit a music/video collection on a desktop computer/notebook with a real mouse/keyboard and a tagging application.
Then to transfer the data to the internal SSD within the file system/USB and insert the SSD back into the Rose audio player and start the DB scan.

Here is an example of a DB rescan duration on my windows desktop workstation with the music management software i use. It is a HP Z620, XEON Gold, 16GB Ram and the harddisk the DB is on is a normal harddisk not a SSD.
The rescan took 5.03 minutes for more than 100’000 files music, cue, pictures, m3u, pdf, log and other information i add to an album. Each album is saved in it own directory The number 100’000 is possible because i copied my music collection 5 times to measure the performance of DB scan and handling. The actual number of files is around 20’000 FLAC files with tags, pictures and all that.
This is another scan of the same DB and music library with the older version of my media managemnt software. It takes longer as you can see because the DB and algorithms are different. The information that is read into the DB is exactly the same.

I am sorry that I missed this “Notice” earlier. I know I’m getting to the dance a little late but I mainly have one simple request: please read all of the metadata of every file correctly. Especially Title, Album, Artist, Picture MIME Type, Picture Type (Read the Picture correctly), and do it for EVERY file. After a DB scan many of these items are missing. They are critical. This is great news for me and I look forward being able to utilize the SSD in installed.
Is there any update on this?
How about an early access of this version now, please.

Rosehan,
Congratulations to the programming team. Their efforts are very much appreciated.

To add to my previous post I would suggest that In RoseRadio that of the 16 fixed categories only 11 relate to music and those categories are virtually useless for a music aficionado. For example one category is"Music". That doesn’t exactly narrow it down much, does it? It is essential that users have the ability to add their own categories. Roon, for example has 21 top level categories of music and countess sub-categories.

@ROSEHAN The new DB scan needs some improvement. Yes it’s fast but when you rescanning to add the new albums it’s doesn’t delete albums from library that i have deleted the files. Only adding. Even if i change the file type of an album from alac to flac deleting the alac files then instead of 12 tracks shows 24 on the album and each track doubled.
since a year from your promises the management of media library in Rose 150B is not improved. The experience of the user is very bad and the performance of RS150b is a disaster comparing to the benchmark of my Cocktail audio x30 that is older and cheaper mediaplayer
After many times initialitation and scan of my database (over 100.000 songs in SSD), I can play only 2.488 files!
ROSE ID: 0D23E0
System: 5.7

The RS150b can manage a very limited number of songs. I have a library with over 10.000 songs and Rose can play less than 3.500 songs.
It’s a terrible limit for my experience
I understand that Kihoon is currently handling this symptom.

Rescan needs to clean up the user’s database library for every deleted file/folder ← in essence, Rescan is to walk through every database library item to ensure there’s a file/folder for each media item in the database library (if there’s no file/folder, remove the corresponding item from the database library)
