Hi @Johnny_Ooooops ,
Setting the potential business problems mentioned above aside…
We tried this as a thought experiment a little while back. What would lightweight, API-based streaming service integrations look like?
Our conclusion was that we would end up with “mini-apps” inside of Roon that didn’t really integrate into the core experience very much. They might provide an adequate experience in some peoples’ view. Maybe, as you pointed out, we would do something special to try and unify the search page.
It might feel a lot like how Tesla has integrated various streaming stuff into their interface – they have an agglomerated search interface, but the media sources are otherwise segregated.
For the people who use Roon primarily for audio plumbing, this is might be satisfying. For the people who use it for the music user experience I would anticipate disappointment. That doesn’t mean it’s totally out of the question–but it’s not a slam-dunk either.
