Since 2015 as wellā¦ and this request has only been occurring for 6 days!!
Will have to wait another 6-7 years as obviously it is just a fad that everyone must want now, because no users have ever had local files on their systems before have they??

Iām very happy with Roon 2.0 and my internet is very stable so this doesnāt effect me personally.
In any case Iād just use another player or spin vinyl if no Roon, no biggie.
However it seems reasonable for Roon to have some basic local file access in the absence of internet, so I voted yes.

I donāt know if Roon also is aware of the fact that non of us will play music anymore if THEYāve got an issue with THEIR infrastructure.

Just learned that Roon 2.0 REQUIRES internet connectivity to play local files. But Roon Arc has an off-line mode. HUH?
Please implement a Roon 2.x off-line mode. Can be rudimentary playing, but Roon 2.0 going black even with local files with no internet access is unacceptable. Will immediately re-install Audirvana (lifetime subscriber to both) to ensure music access in case of internet hick ups.
Seriously? What was engineering thinking? Absolutely mind boggling step back.

Personally I listen to my music with a 24h connection but the idea of me not being able to listen the music if internet drops out (unfortunately happens, from time to time) itās really uncomfortable plusā¦ I donāt understand the purpose of that. Is anyone āstealingā days of service?
I think we should have at least some days to re-sync the connection to help people which do not use an always on connection not to loose the opportunity of listening their music in their home.
I hope you can reconsider that. Cheers!
p.s. love the ARC! Thanks

Iāve been on the fence with regards buying a lifetime subscription for the last two years finally deciding to go for it this weekend after reading some positive press on ARC etc. However discovering the recent requirement for an always-on internet connectivity has caused me to reevaluate again. Adding my vote for a offline mode too.
Please add my vote for offline services.
My area/country has unstable power and also Internet services. I have backup power but cannot backup my ISPā¦
Playing local music files the way roon does for me was the reason to choose roon as my player software some years ago.
This feature is now in question.
Maybe I have to reconsider my choice?

Why is this in a āfeature discussionā ?
This is a basic requirement and it has already been very different in 1.8 release. So this is a regression bug rather than a new āfeatureā.

More than 200+ votes in a very short time and most users are not even participating here (as communication in various online forums around the world shows who are distracted by the newly introduced need for permanent internet connection).
I donāt like to see more users moving away from Roon because of this - so maybe a workaround is able to be made (like it was in 1.8) ?
