Back in the day, Roon was heavily focused on highlighting the power of it’s metadata for music discovery. According to the marketing blurb, that’s still a core focus.
I think though, Roon is only scratching the surface of what’s possible with its data.
One off the biggest things I struggle with, is finding out when my library artists release something new on to whatever streaming platform I subscribe to.
To that end, I would love a regular digest of “What’s new” which is focused on comparing my library artists with the new release information provided by the streaming service and showing me this information me through a dynamically updated weekly/monthly update.
The “new release” pages of streaming services are a dramatically cut down version of what’s actually released, and awkward to browse. But we know the full release information is there as a manual search for a new release that doesn’t make it on to these page summaries does pull up the information.
So ideally, this digest feature would scan my library artists, cross reference what I don’t have in my library that is no older than (X) weeks from today’s date and present them to me in a format that would allow me to go ahead and add them to my library.
