I feel like the time when Microsoft removed start menu in Windows 8.
I think the new UI is a huge step and the connections valence makes are remarkable. Also the classical has improved.
But there also as many elements that is a step backwards. For instance, instead of improving boxset handling, making a scrollable disc select menu is a disasster… I am sure many others will be mentioned
Hi,
Massive overhaul of the UI is great, font is much improved, the presentation is more compact and scrolling is fixed - a nice controllable mouse scroll.
Upgrade was flawless across windows 10 server and clients, and IOS (iPads and iPhones).
No complaints, one suggestion - let us know when you will start releasing it.
Thanks for a great upgrade!
That was one of my main complaints with BlueOS and one reason I tried Roon. They MUST fix that for sure.
Just having a look around the new build at the new moment. Looks really nice so far. Updated my (Android) phone controller first which triggered an update on my Synology RS3617xs NAS. Since then, I’ve updated one Windows 10 PC controller and two Android tablet controllers. So far it’s all tickety boo. No issues at all 
You should see compositions as part of focus. That helps with navigation in boxsets. The more complex focus scenario you describe might be a problem.
not too much, I‘m afraid
Two biggest pluses I have longed for: Can now see the albums in my collection by composer, something that was not readily done before; and no more sideways scrolling!
Not real wild about the look yet, too much white or too dark. And the focus on ‘popularity’ doesn’t really do much for me. But all in all, pretty cool stuff, can’t wait to check it all out.
Where is FOCUS ON SIMILAR for albums
As I said earlier, try using Focus in boxsets instead of Disc number… Personally, I find the experience much more relevant.
That’s weird, works like a charm here (3080, 5900X, 32GB 3600mhz ram BUT on 1440p 60 hz). No sluggishness whatsoever though 
Me, I think the vertical scrolling is a huge improvement and I love the overall look way better now. Only tinkered with it for an hour though, time for bed.
Minor point: you did not pay for a certain UI, you paid for a lifetime of acces to an evolving product, whether you read the small print or realized this yourself or not. Sorry this change doesn’t please you more. Maybe you’ll get used to it or like the next one better?
A post was merged into an existing topic: Settings not displaying properly or crashing on 1.8 [Ticket in - Workaround in thread]
Something I miss is that now in the album view when playing an album, I can’t see the other albums by that artist. Am I missing something?
Would try to update gfx card drivers etc. Or just a reboot. It’s really snappy here. Something is wrong with your pc setup.
Congratulations to the Roon team on a fantastic release. The new UI is clean and fresh, big fan. My only gripe so far is the ‘burying’ of the ‘Discover’ tab, should be brought back to the forefront.
Oh, and a nice surprise was Roon clients now being able see the Core when running over Wireguard VPN!
I love that I can now consistently read the album reviews, biographies and other text. It used to be very hit and miss depending on the colours in artist photos and album covers. The new fonts are much more legible in light and dark themes. I’m swinging to the light I think we it feels more like a publication.
As an habitual groomer of my library I also like the new look of the editing screens. They seem a little easier to use, especially when editing credits.
Upgrading to 1.8 might have been a huge mistake on my part. The new format makes it a giant waste of time on my end. It looks like I have to scroll and scroll thru may albums as the ability to jump to the first letter in a artists name is gone as the little “abc” feature appears to be gone. To make it even worse the number of albums displayed on each page is about 50% less. Just terrible so far.
BIG SELFIE FLASH BUILT-IN ?
Of course I know that, but it’s quick links menu and it’s useless for release dates in that case.
Cant play more then few songs then stops.No Roon Radio.Un usable.
+1
Yes, please give us this option
I have mixed feelings about this release at the moment, which I think will become clearer after I have had more time to appreciate all the changes made. I can see a “lot” of work has gone into this and I am guessing this overhaul makes “mobile roon” more feasible down the line.
I have a couple of issues I would like to report back:
Thanks! In! Advance!
