Hello Everyone,
We are excited to announce a major update to the music experience with Roon. We have added new content sources for album reviews and artist biographies, including Wikipedia articles in a number of languages. This will provide a richer and more informative experience while you explore and listen to your favorite music.
Localized Wikipedia articles enable fans of non-English language music to read articles about their favorite bands written by native speakers. For those with less experience with English, we have also included the “Simple English” version of Wikipedia to make things easier for non-native speakers and children.
You can customize your Roon experience by adjusting the settings in “Settings > General > Editorial Sources” to determine which sources to use.
We hope you enjoy the new reviews and biographies and have even more fun exploring your favorite music with Roon.
Thank you for your continued support,
The Team at Roon Labs
