I started the thread but, don’t get me wrong, I love Roon and i really hope that the developers will make this a perfect software.
Would be nice to have a better browsing capability, possibility to see full discography of the artists and scheduled new releases, dynamic range option as the DR database website, adding/changing lyrics manually, lite web version to use directly from browser (something as Gizmo for jriver), probably a new restyling in the future with better "feeling’’ on tablet & phone, password protection for songs cancelation/modifications, concerts notification for our artist’s library (from last.fm or similar websites) based on location radius etc…
For sure we are on the right way with what we already have and what has been achieved so far. The reason why I started this topic is that I just noticed that everything slowed down in the last period… and i am really scared to look for other options in the future, starting everything from scratch and so on… specially nowadays when THEY are trying to push only for streaming services.
Yeah?
And there I was, simply hoping that a future release of Roon would make me a hot cup of coffee in the morning, and wipe my a*** before I go to bed…?
I think the lack of activity is because Roon is focusing on a complete mobile solution. We will see this perhaps end 2020. Otherwise there’ll be maintenance releases in the meantime. For my money, it’s a period of consolidation and then almost a rebirth on the mobile/desktop integration front.
C’mon at the end I didn’t ask for the moon. I wrote a list of features that are surely possible to implement and deeply related with our love for music!
hehe… well… with 3 years of solid work, maybe, just maybe we will see something in 2020
ps… all joking aside, the stuff we’d all like to see on the smaller side of things, like proper box sets integration, better track editing, editable bios, etc, it’s all fluff. It’s not going to increase the coffers at Roon central specifically. If they can tap into the massive mobile market definitively with something highly inventive, then they could hit a huge market. Imho, this is why we are just not seeing much in the way of revisions.
It certainly won’t appear for every artist, but look on the Artist page - the Songkick section appears at the top, immediately below the photo, if it exists. E.g. try Laurie Anderson, Elvis Costello, or Angela Gheorghui (if you like Romanian sopranos).
?
