Hey Everyone,
Hope everyone had a happy and restful New Years!
Excited today to begin rolling out a feature we’ve talked about at Roon for many, many years…
Listen Later 
Today we are excited to introduce Listen Later, your personal music to-do list.
Think of Listen Later as a vault for the music nuggets you unearth while exploring Roon. You can audition new discoveries with Listen Later before moving them to your Roon library — or use it to reconnect with gems that have been neglected or forgotten in your collection.
You can add albums, tracks, or even artists — making Listen Later a catch-all to-do list for sounds you want to get to know better. Listen Later always prioritizes your most recently added unplayed music, giving you instant access to your must-hear lineup whether you’re at home or listening on the go with ARC.
Listen Later also maintains a history of saved music you’ve played — so you can add it to your library or put it back into your LL queue with just a few clicks.
It helps preserve your collection’s careful curation by providing an ideal way-station for auditioning new discoveries before making them part of your library — and it’s perfect for reconnecting with sounds that have gotten lost in the shuffle.
Check out the video below for more details.
Key Features
- Add any album, track, or artist to your Listen Later list, from your library or beyond
- Each profile maintains its own separate list
- Quick access from Home screens in both Roon and ARC
- Your list will always show the most recently added content at the top
- As you play content in your list, it’s automatically moved to the Played section of your list
- Played content can be removed from your list with a single click, or it can be added to your library or back to Listen Later from the context menu
- You can fine-tune exactly when content is considered “played” via the Listen Later section on the General tab of Settings
Thank you for your continued support and feedback!
