Looking at Local Radio Stations, I see my current location is not correctly reflected. How do I change my location?
Itâs a new setting thatâs been introduced in 1.7, and, like all new settings (I think), the default is âNoâ.

Track numbers are now off by default and can be turned on in Settings.
Thank you for the update. Everythingâs working well after ~1 hour of use.
- new bold font is worse than before, slightly blurry on my screen
- live radio is nice touch and might increase my use of radio listening
- canât comment on performance yet but as said before, it works as it should
- why canât New Releases For You work for library users? Iâd love to have this function.
- might just be my imagination but does 1.7 maybe sound slightly better? I stream to Linn Akurate DSM over ethernet connection and use my PC as core and control + iphone and ipad for control also
Iâve had plenty of problems with streaming to Linn ADSM (roon tested) in past. I hope itâs more stable after the release of 1.7.
You have to enable track numbers in Settings - General.
They are off by default

Itâs intentional:
As a fan of using bold text sparingly for emphasis, Iâm convinced at least some of the users observing a sudden abundance of bold text are not distinguishing between (1) bold text, (2) a heavier typeface weight, and (3) type that just appears heavier than it used to (due to the current aliasing implementation on that particular device). Some specifics and screenshots would probably help troubleshoot this âissueâ where troubleshooting is actually necessary.

Secondly, we added a new display setting. Going forward track numbers will be hidden on the album page by default, although it is possible to toggle them back on using the new setting
Thanks for forwardingânoted and now changed in my appâs settings. @andybob

I think this is a philosophical thing. Roon doesnât want to offer you things you canât get. If you donât have a streaming service, it sort of looks like a tease?
Why not post it as a Feature Request?
Why canât I get it? Itâs a new release. Could show up as an Amazon link.
It works by accessing the streaming services databases. I expect there may also be licensing issues that prevent Roon using the information without the user having a licence.
Itâs the philosophy that everything you can click on in Roon leads to something you can play and listen to in Roon, I think. But asking for a feature in this regard may be a good idea.
would also love confirmation on whether or not roon bypasses the android intervention and goes direct to DAC

Look what is appearing just now (19h20 CET) in my mailbox.
Roon 1.7 â introducing Valence
Roon Labs is proud to announce the largest project weâve ever undertaken. After two years of focused design and engineering, weâre unveiling an entirely new technology we call Valence .
Valence is a system built on a massive new cloud database, which uses machine learning algorithms â designed with our passion for music â to model the many dimensions of relatedness more deeply than ever before. And because you use Roon to explore, collect, and listen to the music you love, Valence understands you like no other.
The secret ingredient is the Roon community; Valence learns from the musical tastes of over 100,000 expert listeners who use Roon.
The result is the ultimate music expert, which presents the world of music through a lens personalized just for you.
If youâve used the hugely popular Roon Radio, youâve seen an early example of Valence in action. In the same way that the meaning of âradioâ was transformed in Roon 1.6, today youâll see Valence transform your understanding of ideas like ânew releases for youâ and âsuggested for youâ in Roon 1.7.
Beyond Valence, thereâs more to this update: weâve brought the kind of experience you expect from Roon to the world of live radio, and Roon OS has received a massive performance boost. As always, feedback from the community has led to a number of other improvements as well.
We hope you enjoy finding your next music obsession!

Maybe, just maybe, it could have been nice to get this mail simultanuous with the announcement on the Forum?

Well, I am completely certain thereâs a good improvement in sound quality. I have changed no settings. More detail yet sweeter and cleaner at the very top end, more musical, and better low end definition too. I am finding as a result of the change I can set my preamp about 5dB higher and it sounds great. I could not do this before as it got harsh. Everything is sounding great.
Just as a note, I am running Rock on a fanless Nuc with LPSU straight out into a Brooklyn Dac+ via a Phasure Lush USB Cable. I see someone upthread suggested improvements could be possible for those who are connecting direct to Dac like this, although I donât follow why and am only really concerned with the results. This is the best I have had Roon sound.
Oh, this is a mix of flacs held in the NUC and Tidal, mostly Tidal and I donât let the Dac ever deal with MQA instead letting Roon do the first unfold if it is an MQA track, and then my upscaling is set to DSD256. 7th Order, and Smooth/Minimum Phase.

Ok then - will watch for that when Iâm streaming Tidal next. Thanks!
Absolutely LOVE the new features! I love the new radio feature, and the ârecommended for youâ tab. And Iâve only just scratched the surface.
Cheers to Roon for a great update!

Maybe, just maybe, there is a VERY small chance to make it work.
For you to try out if you are interested.
Just create an account at Qobuz, without subscribing for a streaming service. Up till today, this is still possible.
Try to login into Qobuz from Roon - Settings - Services.
Tell us what happens (or not happens)

The release notes state that the ROCK/Nucleus implementation has been improved through native .NET compilation of the software. Which mean your computer is more efficient, and in a way less stressed. Could be the explanation.
We were told the forum represents a minority of all Roon users - maybe it was clever to check things with this minority before informing all the others?
