Folder Browsing [Never happening] 2016-03

No browse by folder: Is it for ideologically reasons / company philosophy or are there technical reasons?

ideological / philosophical – nothing technical. in fact, the technical problems are trivial.

I address this in another thread:

Request: Folder Browsing [Never happening]

Ok everyone, it seems you guys want a better answer than “we hate folder browsing”. Unfortunately it’s not that simple. There is no folder browsing coming to Roon because it promotes behavior we don’t want to exist. We feel that it, like UPnP support would get us more sales short term at the cost of our souls (and future). I’d love to discuss it with you over a drink, but that’ll have to wait. This decision is a strategy. A long-play business and product strategy. If it doesn’t make sense, you …

But the short of it is: this will never happen.

There are 2 topics we are firm on not supporting: UPnP and file/folder browsing. For everything else, we are open-minded.
