Are there others still waiting for the promotional email with the free trial?

Received it at 8:43am here in Adelaide, Australia. It’s now 9:34am

It’s 6pm where I’m at, that’s why I was wondering.

I get this promo prompt in Remote:

Which takes me here:

Thanks for the info. I’ve updated my remotes, just waiting for the promo prompt.

@TheRiz , if you go to ā€œServicesā€, and click the nugs Login box, you get a prompt to Sign up for 60 days free:

Does this 60 days just stop at the end or does your Credit Card start to get billed?

It said it would automatically bill me after the 60 days.

I’m all for more functionality, but another paid service - Is this really what we need. I’m sure some will like the idea.

The cost of living is already insane, and here we are asked again to part with more money to listen to music. I would personally use Youtube for ā€˜concert’ recordings.

For me personally, I would much perfer integration with Bandcamp…

Far more beneficial for music discovery.

Then, don’t subscribe to it. I’m not.

Well thats the obvious strategy.

My point was, prehaps Roon might direct efforts into platforms people actually use. Like Bandcamp!

One has nothing to do with the other. It just gets tiresome everytime Roon does something, someone complains because it’s not what they want.

FYI - when I signed in the service defaulted to AAC. sounded really bad. Had to go back to Roon services to adjust to ā€œbest availableā€. I like the idea but 24.99! OUCH!

If you look on the Nugs site, you see that the have two subscription plans. The Roon option is hi-res, more expensive one. They have a non-high res subscription for half the price of the high res. You could sign up for that instead. Might make a lot of sense, as many live recordings aren’t good enough to really need high res.

I understand what you are saying, I don’t disagree.

I just don’t understand these decisions, was this a voted feature?

When subscribing to nugs through Roons offer i suppose it’s the compressed tier thats on offer:

Official concert audio in MP3/AAC

Edit: No, the 60 days free are for the full rez service!

By paying for the 4K tier i suppose i can enjoy live uptakes in HiRes and ā€œimmersiveā€audio, but miss out on the 4K video experience when using Roon.

It’s not the most obvious way forward for Roon as a SaaS supplier, at least to me.

100%

Bancamp - would have made alot more sense.
