Hey Everyone,
2024 has been an exhilarating ride at Roon, and we’re only four months in!
We’ve announced two new Nucleus models and certified more new partner products than in the first quarter of any other year. We’ve added dynamic features and customer-requested enhancements to Roon and ARC every few weeks. And today, we’re doing something we said we’d never do - adding folder browsing to Roon!
When Enno announced our paradigm shift on folder browsing in the Roon Founders Message earlier this year, the news sparked a flurry of ecstatic emails filled with gratitude and disbelief. Responses to the customer survey further reinforced its importance to many users.
So, at long last, folder browsing has landed in Roon - and we hope you enjoy using it! Please see the change log below and check out our blog for more details.
We’re committed to ensuring Roon delivers the most enjoyable music listening and browsing experience possible. Stay tuned; more surprises are on the way! As always, we thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for Roon.
