Ah true. Not such a good idea then. Now you mention it, I wouldn’t want family members to have my password either.
Plex has something similar in that you can send a code for someone to log in. Its not something I have tried as I dont have any friends. I cannot see Roon doing that, unless the person with the code also has a roon subscription.
Interesting times.
Well this being said if I set it up, my son will want access, its simply a case of me entering the credentials for him, thats not going to automatically log him in on safari or what ever so all good for close family members I would argue.

For family members you can log them in and let them access their profiles (same profile support between Remote and ARC). But, if they got logged out, they would need to open an IT ticket for assistance 
Didnt even know this was a thing lol
We can already set up profiles for family members. Perhaps there should be a way of giving each profile a different ARC password, plus settings for whether they can modify the library, etc.

I think this is the better approach for something like Roon rather than the Plex method of sending a code for someone to log in. Roon is more geared towards people living in the same household.
That way I get a warning that one of my devices (core or controller) is not Legacy version. In my case it is the Core, there is no update available as I mentioned above.
We have links to the Roon Legacy App on the same Migration FAQ, if you wish to remain on 1.8 or 2.0 is not compatible please install the Legacy edition of Roon:
Download Links for Roon Core 1.8 (Legacy):
MacOS All-in-one / MacOS Remote
Windows All-in-one / Windows Remote (x64)
Windows All-in-one / Windows Remote (x32)

Not young but feels like sitting in original Emaes next to my porsche parked in my living room.
I got it, thank you!

There’s still only one Core machine, so from that perspective it’s having multiple endpoints playing different things all in use at the same time
Actualice MacOS Mojave a Monterrey y roon 2.0 se actualizó solo.
Funcionando perfectamente en iPhone , iPod y Huawei con Android

Not true. You could tether your dac to your iphone to get wifi connection and then airplay to your dac to get cd quality or render at even higher resolution using an app like mconnect
We’re talking about Roon 2.0 and Roon ARC here. I said high resolution, not CD quality.
So a big push for roon remote was to have all your music in a familiar interface, so the big question, can you download tidal/quboz within roon?
An exciting development!
I only have a handful of my own music files saved to my Roon core to plug holes in the Qobuz catalogue. I’d been hoping it would be possible to download Qobuz files to listen to offline, whilst my Qobuz subscription remains active. I appreciate this is a Qobuz licensing restriction but is this insurmountable? Do Roon have any plans to work with Qobuz (and Tidal) to overcome this?

In answer to my own question, no you cannot download tidal content, so from my perspective no further forward really, when out and about without network, I would need at least one other app, tidal.
I understand why, but makes it a moot point for me, may as well stick with tidal.
Works well though.
Why? Is it bad?
