To everyone in the Roon community, Last November, Roon Labs was acquired by Harman International. This marks a new beginning for Roon, our industry partners, and our team. Today, we want to discuss what this means for us, for you, and for the future of Roon. These past few months have been incredi…

Well said! This should have been addresses back in version 1.6! In a database there are tables, views, & PTR’s so there is absolutely no reason why we could not have a “folder view” or folder search option. This no folder view and very draconian behavior! Just my .2 cents!

[image] Bill_Janssen: it was an adventure! Bill is a great poster and there was a time, 5-6 years ago, when it did feel a bit like a fun adventure. However, if we are going to use the “adventure” analogy, then for the past 3-4 years, those with local collections who see streaming as suppleme…

Supposedly, business theory says (and in practice it is probably so) that customer centricity generates more income in practice then profit maximization due resulting from “greed” of the Brand.

[image] James_I: I’m glad to see Roon saying it has reversed course and going to focus on music collection enthusiasts again. I’m not sure this is actually what’s happening. But this thread has changed my opinion about folder browsing. I wrote earlier that every tool doesn’t need to solve ev…

[image] Wade_Oram: Unlikely I know, but not impossible. It works pretty well with Adobe Creative Cloud. They got a user base many times that of ROON.

[image] musicjunkie917: What I care about is that the folks making the calls now care about the user’s with local libraries with plans to focus on their needs instead of the streaming remote content crowd and ARC crowd. These are not three different groups. My library consists of local files …

I agree. My local library is important to me and access to it when no internet is available in some form is essential. Now that Roon does not have an online requirement, I don’t need to worry about alternative solutions. However, streaming is also important. It is our primary music discovery mechan…

[image] gTunes: I’m not sure this is actually what’s happening. But this thread has changed my opinion about folder browsing. I guess I am not either, which is why I referred to it being backed up into actual new versions. But at least there is more hope than their used to be. While my colle…

There is no reason to use the internet to search a local database. I’ve built database applications for over 30 years, and any decent database will do keyword and attribute searches just fine. The only use case would be complex sounds like searches for misspelled groups, sons, etc; but that should b…

[image] Wade_Oram: Indeed. In our household, generally, we use both streaming and our local library. However, if there is an album that we find on the streaming services, and start to listen to more than once or twice, then we will generally purchase it - either as a CD (which will get ripped) …
