Discography and Artist Updates

Given the aim of Roon to provide a full, engaging, and encompassing musical connection, I would like to see the following addition to the program:

DISCOGRAPHY: While seeing upcoming concerts is nice, being able to see all of the released albums an artist has done provides a much larger contribution to knowledge of the artist – particularly seeing some albums that the user may want to add to or complete their collection. As part of this, a “newest” or “next album expected” tab would be excellent and very helpful. I simply don’t have time to dig and research everything on my preferred artists, and I would like that data available and in the artist tab.

While a “similar artists” tab is probably a complex rabbit hole (something based beyond what a user has in his/her own library), it is a useful addition also.

Both features work if you have added a Tidal subscription, and I believe similar artists are already covered in basic Roon but maybe only for your own library?

If you read the artist and album texts/reviews you can search for any mentioned artists/albums manually. This could be improved, it would be nice to have the artist links also for music you don’t own but I guess this would point to too much music that you can’t play.

I agree, it would be nice to see a discography ( grayed out cover art?) and maybe even upcoming albums without Tidal.

For various reasons, I don’t have Tidal. I shouldn’t need another service for that, which is why it would make Roon better.

Been talked about and suggested since July 2015.
