Currently, when moving streaming service roon users have to deal with all the tags and favourites etc manually. This can take an awful long time and defeats the point of building a huge roon library over years.
Sounddiz will only sync tracks, albums and playlists etc.
What if Qobuz or tidal went bust?
I honestly think Roon needs to look at this seriously from a software perspective as over a life time people will change streaming services for whatever reasons.
Roons software layer should be more abstracted from the service. A very large library could be almost impossible to make the change.
I don’t think it’s an impossible task, I would imagine a modification on the new playlist “improve” functionality where they find alternative tracks for unavailable ones would be a starting point.
For Tags, simply adding the “Improve” button to each tag list would find alternative songs.
For switchers they could simply disable the old streaming service and then click Improve to update all.
For Favourites, maybe some setting so users could choose to always have favourites synced across albums in different streaming services. I’d imagine most users would want this on but can see some edge cases.
Ideally we would need the ability to change all tags and favourites on Qobuz tracks to tidal or vice versa.
Soundizz could create all the duplicate albums and tracks for us. ( or better still roon do it) We just need roon to be able to sync them, possible using the suggestions above.
