Roon just updated itself and now nugs shows.
I’m confused by it. I looked at Led Zeppelin and all it shows is standard studio albums.
I get that from Qobuz…
No it doesn’t.

Nugs doesn’t have any Led Zeppelin content other than all of the official releases that you already find on Qobuz/Tidal. Not sure why Celebration Day shows up under “Shows” in Roon, yes, it’s a live concert recording, but it’s an official release. I believe that Roon’s intent was not to offer everything that Nugs has available, but to offer the live concert recordings offered in Nugs that are not part of the artist’s official catalog. e.g. the hundreds of live shows from Springsteen, Wilco, Pearl Jam, etc.
I stand corrected, indeed they show the studio albums here:
That’s weird
Agree- a lot of music I am interested in seems just to have the standard release Live albums which is pretty hopeless given they are on every streaming service anyway. EG- I look at band like CAN which have I imagine an extensive live archive and all you get are the official live rereleases which I have on CD anyway.
I was sort of expecting NUGS to have licenced radio broadcasts and live music directly from record company archives but alas not much of this at all.
Im not saying its suspect here but there are bands I have never heard of (Disco Biscuits, Dogs In A Pile, Leftover Salmon) have HUNDREDS of live shows available. hmm ( forgive me if the above are actually well known and are your favourite bands in which case you have struck gold)

same I thought after my first look, too…….
Now I’m looking for a way to cancel this thing again…
If your favorite bands don’t have live shows on Nugs, talk to the bands / their rights holders.
Not sure that’s my job. What am I potentially paying Nugs £24.99 a month for then?
Let’s face it, the proposition as it stands is pretty awful.

Well, Nugs certainly can’t do anything about it. Do you want them to steal the music?
Didn’t say that did I mate? Don’t get on the offensive.
If they had done the work and licenced something original that I can’t already get in a ton of places than it might have some value
Filling its catalogue with a load of dubious bands to get the volume up is not a good way to proceed and Roon should have nothing to do with them.
The endless complaining is tiresome. If a band wants to share its shows, it’s up to the band, end of.
And most clearly don’t so it’s just a massive waste of time and money.
Bandcamp and SoundCloud are a million times better.
Here you go folks
Not my channel
You suggest that listeners “talk to the bands / their rights holders”, but say that “Nugs certainly can’t do anything about it”.
I think you’ve got it backwards. The business model that Nugs has chosen dictates that they must acquire the rights to music in order to have a viable product.
At the current asking price, Nugs is a farce, and I don’t know why Roon wasted valuable resources integrating it.
It seems obvious to me that Nugs can approach artists/labels but the ultimate decision whether they want to share live concerts is with the artists / the rights holders.
It’s the same as with any streaming service. There were some famous cases of artists who resisted streaming, and obviously the streaming services could do nothing about that.
