I wanted to ensure that responses from the Roon team are easily accessible in one thread; it is hard to keep up to date on every topic/issue.
I am limiting the list to only show issues that are either being investigated by Roon, or are actively being resolved.
I also want to make some distinction between issues that are effecting a minority of users which will require technical support specific to their control/core/endpoint setup, and functionality/behaviour across all users that will either be restored or improved.
Please contribute as and when they are posted. Thank you!
Restoring functionality:
We are looking into a quick fix for this. We have some ideas.
Good catch – this used to be clearer. We’ll get it fixed.
Hi, @bbrip , thank you for the report, coul dyou, please specify, on which screen are you seeing this probelm? Could you, please, also post a video or a screenshot to illustrate? I think I know what is going on, but jsut want ot confirm before talking to the dev team about this one.
Thanks!

Yup, we have a fix in testing but it wasn’t quite ready to ship this week.
But it’s definitely coming – thanks for your patience!
Thanks, @jtnt ---- I’ve passed this along to the team to investigate further.
Thanks for the report, @Suedkiez — I just wanted to confirm that this feedback has been passed along to the team.
Composer tags:
Thanks for the further details here, @KML
I’ve passed this along to the QA team for further investigation.
Focus>Release Date>‘View More’ not displaying:
Apologies for the trouble, @Hazen !
We are aware of the issue here and are working to resolve it. Things should be working for you soon!
Tracks>Focus>Import Date>Not working as expected:
We’re still working on Focus, so the latest changes haven’t gone live yet, but we’ll have a look.
@RoonQA please have a look – some of this is fixed, but I’m still seeing the Import Date heat map issues when comparing Albums vs Tracks.
Thanks for letting us know @Hazen !
iOS>Search Bar>Previous search string not highlighted/replaced with new input:
@Peter_Duckworth , I appreciate you putting that into words. It will now be taken into account by our technical and QA teams as they approach this issue.
Android>Roon Radio>Skipped track feedback popup not appearing:
@RoonQA , please take a look. I would expect this on both platforms.
Versions icon>Local library count:
That’s reasonable feedback. I’ll make sure that the product team discusses it.
UI layout:
We have some improvements planned in this area, to ensure we get the face properly centered in various views.
Not quite ready to say more, but we’re aware of the problem and have a plan. Stay tuned!
Hey @Serkan_Kuyumcu ,
Thanks so much for reporting what seems to be a bug. Our technicians will follow up on this.
In the meantime, could you please clarify if this happens for any track you ban, or just a specific one? Could you please share a few examples of tracks?
Thanks in advance
Thanks, @Serkan_Kuyumcu — I’ve passed this along to the QA team to investigate. Can you confirm what kind of device you’re seeing this on?
Hello All,
Thank you again for the reports.
I wanted to touch base with some good news, which is that our technical team has been able to reproduce this behavior and we’ve opened up a bug report with our developers.
While I can’t say for certain when this bug will be fixed, getting things reproduced in-house is a critical first step, and I will keep this thread up to date as the team passes along feedback and work begins to get this resolved.
Thanks again for the report!
Classical genre page:
Yeah, it’s implied on the composer page but we should definitely be showing the composer’s name when it’s not part of the context.
We’ll get that fixed, thanks!
Misc Issues:
Thank you for the report, @Andreas_Philipp1 , we have an open ticket in about this issue.

Hi @Vadim_Lvov
We appreciate the feedback here. I just wanted to let you know the team is looking into this.
Feature improvements:
This is a feature that we are not too happy with. We built it very quick and dirty just before our launch in 2015 and never really revisited it. It returns some pretty weird results sometimes and is not on par with our other discovery features today.
We decided not to remove it from the product because we know there are fans of the screen, but we aren’t looking to attract new users to the feature, so we gave it less prominent billing than before.
I think at some point we will give it some real…
I see some improvements possible with split-personalities like Bernstein. The missing “composers” filter criteria feels relatively simple to work out. We’ll take a look.
Artists like Bernstein are tricky to pick apart automatically. There are a lot of people that appear to meet the criteria of being both conductor/performer + composer as a result of one out-of-character recording or some inaccurate metadata, so there is a balance to be struck when defining data-driven rules. In any system like …
Not as per thread title, but improvement to Roon’s recommendations for artists’ top tracks:
Hey @Cameron_Oatley @Martin_Zupancic – it would be great if you guys could give me some examples of artists where you’re not getting the top tracks you expect. We did some analysis after these initial posts and I definitely agree that there’s room for improvement.
A few examples of where you feel like our lists are coming up short will be helpful as we work on improving these recommendations.
Thank you!
Classical Genres>‘Top Composer’ recommendations:
Artist>In Their Prime>include both local and streaming albums:
This is great example (qobuz + local content), we are looking into this now.
Thanks @Xekomi and others
Album pages>Artist’s ‘Selected discography’ panel>Library toggle
I think @Geoff_Coupe was talking about the Discography view on the Artist page.
If I’m understanding correctly you’re talking about the album page here:
This is good feedback and we appreciate it. The “selected discography” feature was designed to give you a chronological overview of the artist’s career, so you can see what they released right before or after the album you’re looking at, and get a sense of where the album fits into their career.
It’s designed to provide context, but we’ve…
Patch Notes
Hi all!
First, we just want to thank everyone for all the interest in Roon 1.8!
We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive response we’ve heard from thousands of you, and we’ve also been intently reading everyone’s suggestions for how we can improve Roon in the future.
Wide-ranging design changes to an application like Roon can be extremely complex, and our design team and developers spent countless hours working to ensure the changes didn’t affect critical functionality, or overwhelm the music t…
Hi all!
We’re hard at work on our next round of improvements, but a few smaller bugs were resolved over the last couple of days, and we wanted to get these fixes out to everyone immediately.
Improvements to Focus and a few other areas are underway, so thanks again everyone for all the feedback and kind words about Roon 1.8!

Great idea for a thread OP. They should stick this at the top for a while. Good stuff.

Indeed this is a good idea for a thread and does show that Roon listen to their users (within reason as there is a lot of hysterics and toys being flung out of prams).
It strikes me that even with this opening post that most of the pertinent issues have been prioritised.

Not sure this ones on this list.
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that we have a ticket in for this. I can’t provide any specific timelines, but we hope that this will be resolved soon!

Thank you for doing this. I wish that those who feel like they are wandering in the wilderness with no appreciation from Roon for the pain they’re feeling could all read this - I had no idea this many things had already been “accepted” as either defects or quick improvements. This is a lot of the core issues… here’s to fast progress for those who’ve experienced some of what’s rolled out as a downgrade!

Excellent thread, much appreciated.
As someone generally quite pleased with 1.8, the Focus AND/OR issue has been an obvious quirk that needed fixing with 1.8, so very pleased to see the response.

Hi Simon,
Thank you. I did see that response, but wanted to make some distinction between issues that are effecting some users which will require technical support and functionality/behaviour across all users that will be restored or improved.
But obviously you and anyone else are very welcome to add responses from the Roon team to the thread as you see fit.

Thanks RobOK,
I’ve also been following that thread, but I didn’t add it to my OP as the current response from Roon is only about the renaming of the feature:
We are open to suggestions for renaming it, but as for removing the feature, it’s not going to happen.
I personally love this feature as it tells me what to try out when I come across an artist that I don’t know, but am intrigued due to 1 song (usually given to me by Roon Radio).
As for being too “subjective”, I’m curious what/whose personal feelings, tastes, or opinions are being used to influence the years given?
sub·jec·tive - /səbˈjektiv/

But of course, your post is now in the thread and very welcome.
Edit:
Due to a new response from Roon…

I’m including this recent post in the thread as although it doesn’t address any specific issue it does further indicate our feedback is being read and work is in progress:
I can guarantee we’ve been reading.
I haven’t been posting much over the last few days because most of my time has been spent making all this feedback actionable – turning what I’m reading on Community into tickets and specifications that our designers and developers can start on immediately.
Some of the feedback will take time to address, but a number of major feedback points should be resolved in the next week or so. Some of that work was completed late last week, and I’m getting a number o…
