Hey Everyone,
We’re excited to announce updates to Roon (build 1515) and Roon ARC (build 346) in early access. This release significantly improves ARC connectivity and performance while fixing several issues including background crashes. If you’ve experienced connectivity issues or battery drain with ARC, we especially encourage you to retest and share your feedback.
For Roon, we’ve addressed playlist editor duplications and fixed the missing “Add to Listen Later” icon on iOS. Please keep the feedback coming and let us know how you’re getting along.
The Team at Roon Labs

- For Roon, update to version 2.999.90000
