How so?

It may help if you told us what devices and network you are using . I am on Win10, core iPad pro 12.9 and not seeing any of your iOS crashes.
I suspect the banner about excessive use is causing slowness but not crashes, at least to me
The Live lyrics is working on Windows , I’ll check iOS later
I suppose not everyone likes change. I think its far too soon to see what we have , I have only used it for 1 hour !!!

That’s not what I mean and that only works for newer, more popular releases. Many albums that are older and popular but not extremely popular do not have that information show up in the now playing screen and I’ll take pictures later today in this chat to explain.
My iOS app in all other respects works and does look better than 1.7 and the macOS 1.8 version does not have any glitches in all fairness.

Well, I would not call it a “Massive Failure”. At least the clusmy UI has been streamlined and sorted out to a fair extend.
I also dont get why a lot of features went missing on the way.
- Where is the red dot indicator for Live recordings? (Update: they are still there)
- Where are the cover thumbs on the compositions listing of a composer? Looks terribly dull now.
- Why are movements of a multi-part composition not indented as before? This way its hard to figure where a composirtion starts and ends. Looks just dodgy. Surely a bug.
Would I have choosen “Purple” as the color of choice? Nope.
On a more serious note, the most obvious failure (again!!) has been the lack of poper beta testing. Most companies do various stages, final stage being a public beta. Never happened here. They throw it out - still full of bugs. then they spend 6 months to at least reasonably fix it. Same as with 1.7 That should just not happen at a commercial software company charging USD 120 a year for a subscription.

Finally - classical music lovers get heard! As I mentioned in another post, we might constitute a niche market in the overall music world but we are much more likely to appreciate good sound quality and many of us (but not all!) are not only audiophiles but being also privileged elderly (but not yet dead) white males have the means to indulge our interests. This marketing power is also reflected in the overall music industry in general. I suspect a fairly large proportion of Roon subscribers are classical music lovers.

switch your ipad language to something other than English and restart. You will then experience an iOS app in the very early beta stages.
This is very unfortunate because this frustrates all international users here and would have been easily preventable by including more international beta testers

No problems here (latest iOS)

Definitely not my experience with a very extensive local library. Will be interesting to see your examples

I like the new design, and whether one likes it or not is just a matter of personal taste. I agree on your opinion on the waveform. The design could be a little better on that matter.
I had no crashes so far (using on iMac, iPad and iPhone), Live lyrics on individual songs are NOT disabled. You just have to get used to finding some functions in other places. Give it time.
The entire 1.8 experience is positive so far and my compliment’s to the roon-team for this.

The big promotional balloon broke yesterday and left a big mess so far. What were these beta testers who for a few weeks did not notice the problems that others caught in a few minutes after the update. Now we will probably wait a long time for corrections.

I do love classical music as well, don’t get me wrong here, but I find it odd how they couldn’t also focus on other genres along with classical unless it was a very strenuous task that took them fairly more than a year to figure out?
What DSP settings are you using?
The same on my side. IOS crashes and Settings in Win10 incomplete

To sort out classical in the way they appear to have done (from my limited use so far) would have taken quite a bit of effort. Classical metadata is a mess - even from companies that specialise in this genre (DG, Chandos, Warner…). Roon seems to be doing a lot right from my initial skirmishes. I have been careful to amend the metadata myself so that I generally had no problems in locating particular works/ artists within my own collection - but even there Roon has uncovered for me some hidden treasures that I had escaped my attention.

I have parametric equalizer and sample rate conversion enabled as well (sample rate is set to max) sorry I’m not at my computer right now
I tried organizing my classical artists into most albums and the first result was some random classical person with 4 albums and then the next person was Mozart with 20 albums and I’m not sure how the other person had more albums than Mozart so some of the way everything is categorically laid out is confusing. I’ll have to go through and take lots of pictures for everyone tomorrow.
