@nuwriy - 6 days and I still haven’t heard anything from you. Why is this? You should have received a diagnostics report 6 days ago because I am trying to use Roon every day. But it is often practically unusable. To put this in context, I have used a combination of iTunes, JRiver Media Centre, Qobuz, Tidal and Spotify for the last 20 years, and I have never experienced issues with playback and never had to rebuild any database. Since switching to Roon a year ago, I have had to rebuild my database twice, once because it (and the backups) became corrupted, on one occasion losing months of work on my library, and now I am in this situation where there are significant gaps between songs (sometimes as long a 2/3 minutes) and sometimes tracks are not playing at all.
I have upgraded all components of my system, including switches, ethernet cables, hifi components, WiFi mesh network, fast solid state hard drives, etc., in order to eliminate any possible issues with these, but still Roon doesn’t work.
Unless this matter can be resolved in the coming days, I will have no option but to request a refund of my lifetime licence, as I simply don’t have the time to waste on trying to get something as simple as playing tracks working.
I hope you can understand my situation and my frustration. At the moment I can only conclude that, despite many happy customers, Roon is not a finished product, is therefore not fit for purpose, and customer support is too slow. If you want to use one application to manage your music library on a regular basis, and to pay for the best software to do so, customer support really needs to be more responsive.
I really don’t want to be writing this message, as I was hoping that Roon would work and would be the future hub of my music listening, but there you go…
With Best Wishes,
Nick
