I notice frequently while listening to Daily Mixes that the song being played is an MP3 out of my library from the time when I ripped my CD’s and disk space was expensive.
However I have the album with that song on in my favorites as MQA from Tidal.
Why is Roon not selecting the highest quality format available? It does so when playing music which is not in my library or favorites, so I would expect the same treatment even if the song is in my library at lower format.
Difficult to please everyone. Some time ago there were endless complaints about why Roon Radio etc. was NOT playing the local library versions…
That said, what is your primary version for the affected tracks and what is your setting for Streaming Content Preferences?
Because as I understand it, it should play the primary version and, possibly, unless the Streaming Content Preferences overrule it:
Thanks’ I’ll verify this. It might mean that I’ll have to manually change all “primary versions”, even for the albums I never did this for.
I would prefer something in the settings to override this, so everyone could be happy.
This being said, I went back to he queue from the Daily Mix and one of the songs it played in MP3 was “Someone, Somewhere in Summertime” from “New Gold Dream / Simple Minds”. But I have this album’s Primary Version in FLAC from Tidal. My Streaming Content Preferences are “Prefer MQA over anything else”.
I would assume that a good algorithm first composes the mix and then select the songs with best format first. That way the library versions would not be excluded.
What will start again a new discussion what format is the best!
I personally would prefer MP3 over MQA every time.
No discussion.
And to avoid that Roon makes this choice for us, what would lead to even more discussion, it would be fantastic if Roon lists the formats available and let the user put them in his preferred order.
Where can I put a feature request ? 
Feature Suggestions, but please search before creating a duplicate, there’s not much that nobody noticed before 
I’m pretty sure there are also existing discussion threads that may have more info
Indeed there was a thread with a very similar request. I added my 5cts to it.
It proves the value of this community !
