Roon 1.8 (Build 806) Feedback

I’ve read about Daily Mixes. I can’t seem to find where they are located at. I’ve updated my core and updated my app on my phone. Can someone tell me where they are at?

Your home page! Just scroll down a bit.

Don’t see it. Do I have to have a music subscription service like Tidal or Qobuz for that feature to generate?

I agree. Crappy. I don’t use a subscription service either. We are being punished. Just 4844 albums here…

Click settings cog in “Now Playing” then “Show track format” and there you go!

Updated smoothly before bedtime yesterday. No issues and even the iPad app was available immediately from appstore.

Love the fixed scrolling positions when going back, thank U!

Daily mixes was nice, but why does Roon insist on grabbing the music from Qobuz when these albums are available (and identified) in my local library, sometimes in even higher resolutions?
I want to play MY music first and foremost and this is one of Roons promises fading away slowly. (The promise of integrating my local music library with online services)

Same goes for Roon Radio before the update, but there i can restrict choices to my library.

Hoping for:

  • Better sharing possibilities for playlists, music, artists between Roonies. (Make the sharing thumbnail clickable to anyone with Roon?)
  • A more useful wayof looking at Roon profiles with read only options etc.
  • A slightly less contrasty dark profile as reading bios is harsh on the eyes.
  • A way of replacing online songs in playlists with local equivalents based on availability of this particular song and version. Perhaps this is needed for the first item on the wish list.
  • A more useful ripping option for ROCK. (Naming and metadata)
  • Export function that actually works, even on Mac’s.
  • Diagnostics tool for making sure networking and performance is okay for running Roon. (Would ease supports burden of investigating and also non computer literate users by reporting correct settings)
  • And please fix the visual experience of scrolling through the library on iPad OS, it’s not worthy of a several hundred $ software when free software does a way better job of a similar collection.
    etc. etc.

Roon Bridge is still 1.7 (571)
I’m using Ropieee XL

See here

Roon Bridge 806 doesn’t show up on VitOS RPI.

“We’ve worked closely with our friends at TIDAL to design a completely new TIDAL experience in Roon.”

I hope you have friends at Qobuz, too! :slight_smile:

A post was split to a new topic: After the upgrade to 1.8, all my clients do crash at startup

Update installed.
Scroll position fixed.
iOS still crashing (iPhone and iPad).
Therefore scroll position resets as before with every crash.
IT REMAINS FRUSTRATING!

Somebody sees this working:

  • Support for back / forward gesture on iOS

??? I cant see this on my iPad Pro 2020. (Of course i have updated to b806, on Core and iPad OS App)

Streaming is the modern world, that’s the future I’m afraid. I have a mix of my personal library, which I will continue to build but supported by Tidal giving me the very best of both world. The streaming and new services are so helpful in exploring new music that serves to augment my personal library over time.
I would suggest you jump in as the water is lovely, this will bring the new features to your personal library also…

Only working on my iPhone, nothing on the iPad,

I agree with this, Roon should be able to just play the song on local library instead of picking songs from streaming services!

Also please Magic Keyboard support is essential at this point.

… Daily Mixes?

:no_mouth:
just sayin’. not that, given what I listen to 98% of my time, I really care :stuck_out_tongue:

No streaming services enabled? Only works with online content…

@kevin I’ve wrote the support ticket. If anyone else wants to see the behavior I described here then have a look: https://youtu.be/8drQZKXckh0. I was unable to reproduce the genre issue this morning.
