In my experience, embedded ID3 tags from digital downloads (eClassical, I'm looking at you especially) or CD rippers are often wrong. I can manually correct them by consulting multiple metadata sources (some that you have to pay for to get full functionality, llike Rovi/AllMusic) or I can let Roon do that work automatically. In most cases, Roon wins. My time is worth a lot more than what I pay for Roon.
This x1000. I can cite 10's of examples but here's just one.
Importing CDs from Tommy Castro using various metadata sources I got:
1. Tommy Castro
2. Castro, Tommy
3. Tommy Castro and the Painkillers
4. Tommy Castro and the Pain Killers
5. Tommy Castro & the Painkillers
6. Tommy Castro & the Pain Killers
Classical metadata is a whole different layer of pain (see what I did there?)
