Will Roon eventually be a native 64-bit application so more than approx 3,2 GB RAM can be used?
Any update as to when Roon will have 64 bit support.
Without it, I can only run part of my library.
Any update as to when this will be available?
Whatās the status on the 64 bit version. Without it, a large collection is crippled.
Do you expect to issue it soon?

Our linux builds are 64bit, Windows is on the way, and OSX is running into UI issues. We are hoping to have them resolved by end of the year, but no promises.
This is unfortunately about 3rd down on the roadmap, so although itās not a ton of work, itās less priority than RoonSpeakers and other audio device support (SqueezeBox, HQPlayer, etc.).
The timeline for 64 bit is disappointing, but hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.
hi Danny
Why not roll out 64bit for Linux and Windows as soon as they are ready and bring osx independently afterwards?
That way the Linux and Windows user wouldnāt have to wait so longā¦

I agree.
Itās not difficult to acquire a large collection if you are a Tidal user. So, I think this will become more of an issue for users.
I find the wait very frustrating. I agree with Christoph.

Several issues reported here and experienced by yours truly (distorted screen, crashes, ā¦) seem to be related to out of memory conditions due to Roonās current 32bit architecture.
In July we heard about plans to ship a 64bit version in the near future.
Wondering where that is at? Would certainly make a nice XMAS present.
Right now unable to use Roon with my local library (too many tracks for 32bit) 
only as glorified Tidal frontend ā¦
Hi mzbe,
Danny posted this about 64 bit about two weeks ago. My guess is that linux 64 bit will be in the next major release, intended for November, but Windows and OSX may be later.
Thereās also been a fair bit of bughunting since Brian expressed hope for a November major release. I have no knowledge about timing but would expect that unforeseen bugfixing can delay things.
How many tracks do you have? Iām wondering how large of a library one must have before these issues start. I have a fairly large library and have never experienced anything like this.
From a previous post:[quote=āmzbe, post:3, topic:2683, full:trueā]
30k+ albums, not counting TIDAL
[/quote]The present limit for Roon before 32bit build memory access limitation becomes an issue is circa 25,000 albums (300,000 tracks). Whilst my collection is below this limit ā¦ I too look forward to the 64bit implementation.
This does not appear to be true. It seems to be below 250,000 tracks.
Please fix this problem!!
@steveoat87 Agreed, Iām seeing instabilities as soon as I get to about 100,000 tracks.
I donāt have the time to spend hours reproducing the exact figure ā after the total failure of working with my complete library, I initially tried to just use my āclassicsā folder (175k tracks) to complement TIDAL (which is horribly incomplete and has a higher percentage of MP3 tracks in that area). The result was as bad as before with 500k+ tracks - Roon doesnāt start most of the time, crashes, renders UI fonts as garbage, ā¦
I very much like the current development roadmap - Iām a big HQPlayer fan (licenses for all platforms), I have 6 Squeezebox devices, ā¦ That doesnāt change the fact that I canāt even run Roon with my own library in the most basic way unless the 32bit issues are addressed.
It would be great if the marketing team reconsidered priorities in that regard. Not able to run = showstopper. The other two priorities are true exciters, so donāt drop them ā¦
On the other hand, if the bet is to generate a lot more revenue by adding bells and whistles, then that may be used to fund development that will help to stabilize Roon with medium-large libraries, which will get me what I need. As opposed to 64bit gets done but shortly after Roonās commercial viability is challenged ā¦ Not a black and white situation, I get it.

[/quote]I personally know a Roon user who is successfully running Roon with 24,100 albums / 311,000 tracks, and know off others with similar sized collections.
However, there are many factors to how much memory is actually required to support our individual collections that mileage will naturally fluctuate.
Itās not really worth splitting hairs on where these āsoftā limits are, all acknowledge that moving to a 64bit build is an advantage (not just for large library support) and it is in the pipeline.
Given that the Roon guys canāt please all of the people all of the time ā¦ they have to make commercial choices.
Presently Roon are mainly focused on stability / metadata improvements and RoonSpeakers.
@danny is fully supportive of the move to 64bit ā¦ we just need to give them a little more time.
I too am excited about being able to use HQ player.
But, as you say, I found it to be a big compromise to be able to run only part of my collection, and even then, many times Roon is unusable due to the graphics distortion problem.
I too wish they would move up their priorities ā roon speakers is most likely financially important to Roon, but I think long term viability rests in making current customers happy. And the lack of 64 bits is, in my mind, a big shortcoming of Roon.

[/quote]Agreed and thatās why a lot of effort is being put in to stability / usability ā¦ the percentage of the user base with huge libraries is unsurprisingly quite low ā¦ but donāt worry 64 bit is coming

Hi Danny
I would like to repeat my question from 19 days ago:
I hope Win and Linux user will get 64bit very soon and that the Win and Linux user DONāT have to wait until OSX64 is ready.
I very often get missing letters, so bad that the text is not legible anymore. For me, thatās not such a big problem but when I want to convince people how great Roon is, then itās quite embarrassing, when they canāt read the text because of the missing charactersā¦
