Can't play next track? Atrociously counter-intuitive - no, thanks

My wish would be that if you “heart” a Qobuz track, it’s hearted in both the Roon Library and in Qobuz.

Unfortunately, doing that would change the way Roon works now. In the Qobuz app, means both:

• Favorite the album/track in Qobuz, and
• Add to the Roon Library

There is no explicit “Add to the Roon Library” in the Qobuz or Tidal apps (and how could there be?), so Roon Labs appear to have chosen to “overload” the function in the streaming apps when used with Roon.

In order to do what you are asking, I think Roon Labs would have to add a third function: make the added album/track a Roon favorite. Then, those of us who simply wanted to add an album or track from a streaming service (without making it a Roon “favorite”) would have to do this from within Roon using the Roon “Add to Library” function.

There are probably further ramifications to this, but that’s for Roon Labs to contemplate.

Perhaps you should add your voice, and your use case, to this Feature Request, which is asking for much the same thing:

Favouriting unadded Tidal content

Hi andybob, I think that would precisely suit all needs! From the Roon interface it’d be great if could be used for ‘one click’ favouriting. Meaning that selecting in Roon would both “Add To Library” and favourite the item in Roon. This would remove a redundant step in instances where one is intendant on :heart:ing an item from Tidal anyway (that is not presently in their Roon library)… And to Philr’s point, the existing “Add to Library” functionality can remain as it is, for th…

But, be careful what you wish for It seems to me that if Roon Labs implemented this, you would still be no closer to your “one-app” solution. You would get a “one-click” solution, but only in the Qobuz app. In Roon, you would still have two functions: “Add to Library” and “Make a Favorite”.
