EarlyAccess: Roon 2.71 Build 1676 and ARC 1.81 Build 423 are Live!

Hey Everyone,

In this Early Access release, we’re focusing on enhancing overall client stability with several key fixes. We’ve addressed sync problems with Qobuz playlists and libraries.

Additionally, we’ve made changes intended to address two display issues in Roon Remote: oversaturated colors and reduced text legibility on some Android phones (including certain Samsung and Pixel models), and invisible search bar text and cursor on some Windows PCs with ARM processors (such as certain Surface devices). If you were affected by either issue, please update and let us know whether things look right on your end.

Please explore these improvements and let us know if the changes enhance your Roon experience. Your feedback is invaluable in refining these updates.

Thanks for being part of our testing community!

The Team at Roon Labs
