Roon 1.3 : Top Priorities

Feedback Feature Suggestions
#492

Iā€™ve been back on the Tidal App for a couple of weeks while at work. While there arenā€™t many things I donā€™t like about Roon, these are definitely on my list. It also crops up when other people come round and interact with Roon for the first time (I donā€™t know anyone who has ever used Sooloos).

I dont particularly like Tidal, or the desktop App to be honest, but going back to a system where if you want to play something you just hover over it and press play and then sound comes out just feels ā€˜rightā€™ to me. When going back to Roon, things seem long winded in comparison - its always more clicks, and playback not continuing by default is annoying again. I think Iā€™ve acclimatised to the Roon interface, so when Im using it extensively I just accept it and get used to it, but I still think its ā€˜wrongā€™. Even right click or long click still needs more clicks subsequently. Anyway, there are other topics where this is already under discussion, and it seems very unlikely it will change.

I dont find this to be ā€˜geekā€™ related really though, more just a unique UI. I imagine the server/core side of things and initial setup might be considered a bit geeky compared to simpler systems. Iā€™ve never used LMS, but from what I remember looking at it, it was equally complex, or even more complex to setup. It felt ā€˜geekierā€™ to me anyway.

Iā€™ve gotten comfortable enough with the way Roon does things, that when I am in the Tidal app on my desktop or on my phone I have to hesitate before I tap/click something to give myself time to think, ā€œIs this going to screw up my queue?ā€. Many times when listening to a track in Tidal I get an itch to look up information on another artist or album, and I have to think very carefully before I go do that so as not to accidentally start playing the music instead of just reading about it.

So from a standpoint of Enjoy This, Look At That (ETLAT), I appreciate the way Roon does things.

I agreeā€¦ Iā€™ve sort of gotten over it now, but Iā€™d love to see something in Settings that enabled single-click play from here.

I was thinking the ā€˜promiseā€™ was more binding than merely signing
More like cuts to the forearm and agreeing blood brother style!

#507

Jeez you guys are slow on the uptake!

#508

I go crazy with excitement every time Windows forces yet another update on me. This is nothing.

#509

The thing is, the Roon boys have got to put on RED suits and fly about. The download comes through the chimney and ONLY if youā€™ve been good.
You see, Father Christmas is realā€¦ if a little on the dragā€¦:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

please noā€¦ those long threads are painful ā€“ id rather see a bunch of little feature request threads, 1 thread per feature
the long threads just result in lost featuresā€¦
