In the 1.8 presentations there is this:
i really cannot find these sections “In their prime” and “performing the music of”, where are they?
also, i cannot see anywhere this:
finally, i don’t see the discography
I had same behaviour right after the update. One day later everything was displayed (without having done anything).
any chance this is related to using tidal and/or qobuz?
i don’t use any of them.
I think that’s the case. I see those features you show in the screen shot when my Qobuz account in on. When I disable Qobuz, most of those features are absent (In their prime is absent, in this case). When I re-enable Qobuz they come back.
Even if one has Qobuz, some of those features are only presented with fairly major artists, as you might expect.
Correct, ditto Tidal.
And for users of Tidal (like myself), Neil Young has therfore never had a prime period.
I wonder if that list of artists lacking prime will grow as the MQA backlash rolls forward.
Unfortunately, Qobuz isn’t available via normal channels where I live.
good to know that half of the development is relevant only for 3rd party software…
More than two years later and roon is touting the In Their Prime feature in today’s Mastery Series e-mail without mentioning that it requires Qobuz or Tidal. Why does roon always assume that everyone of their users subscribes to one of these services?
I agree. I am missing lot of cool Roon features because I do not subscribe to a streaming service.
The same applies to Jan 10th, 2025…
Roon Mastery Series … In their prime - you don’t find it at all.
Not that I’d require that somewhat controvers feature but the communication policy is questionable.
In their prime would not make much sense if they can’t link to the music. I.e, if you don’t have “in their prime albums” local
Makes perfect sense it only works when you sub to a streaming service
I don’t know. It think some people would be confused by it, but on the other hand it could be a handy guide for what to buy
Common sense should tell you some features require streaming services.
Hi Thomas,
Firstly I said, I wouldn’t really need the feature but would have appreciated the notice it requires a subscription to one of the mentioned services within the “Roon Mastery Series…” mailing.
Secondly I do not agree with your assumption, as I would strongly believe that collectors will have quite some “in their prime” artists within their collection, at least I would definitely.
The information being used as the basis (by the very “database” knowing about these “in their prime” periods) could also be overlayed with the individual library, and I do not even consider this to be very difficult (artist, release date…).
Considering the discrepancy the definition of “in their prime” obviously brings up (when I look at the posts), it might as well be not such a source of joy, anyway…
