Focus on the user experience : multiple users

[Rugby (aka Daniel or Big Dan)]

Hi, @andybob, @Ludwig, @Georgethesixth . This topic has been discussed on the board since, well, months…

Hide albums per profile/user

As profiles don’t really allow for a user to have a separate library. It might be good to be able to hide albums/artists when you are in a specific profile but show them when using another profile. This way my 6 year old daughter can have her own “library” with all her children’s music, my wife can have hers and I can have my own. This way all music can be in the same library but everyone will have their own personal view just by clicking on their profile icon.

is only one thread.

The problem is that focus does not do what people are requesting, which is complete physical separation of music AND meta-data from each profile. And currently the only real way to do that is to run a separate Roon license for each user.
An entirely made up example to illustrate a point, If I focus just on Children’s Music, Roon’s rich meta-data could lead the little one from Muppets songs to Alice Cooper (because they did a couple of duets together on a Halloween special [well worth the checking out on youtube]), which could lead to clicking on the song “I Love The Dead” which is not anything I want a child listening too.
