How can I make sure that Roon plays radio just within a specific playlist that was defined in iTunes?
I tried this today, opened a playlist that I had defined in iTunes for a party, told Roon to play Radio (random), but Roon played songs from across the spectrum without reference to the playlist. How can I make radio work within a playlist?
I don’t think this is radio function, more a shuffle play. Try this:
- Go to the required play list
- Click “Play Playlist”
- Click “Play Now”
- Go to the now playing queue screen
- Click on the shuffle play icon.
Roon will now play all the tracks from the play list in a random order.
OK, thanks, I was not aware of the difference between ‘radio play’ and ‘shuffle’.
What, then, is radio? When I play radio, Roon is mixing so much incompatible music that I can rarely use it. From where does Roon take its recommendations?
Hi,
The concept of the Radio function is that one seeds it with a music selection, which could be an album or a selection of albums) and then radio uses that seed to find similar music from the wider library.
However, as many have commented on it does still require more refinement … I know the Roon Developers are aware and I’m sure they will revisit at some point in time.
Thank you, very helpful!
