Would be nice to be able to minimize Roon Client on Mac and Windows to a mini-player widget that takes little space, but still let’s one see/control the playback.
I wish I didn’t have to switch over the Roon app to play/pause or see what is playing. I would love to have a Menu Bar Widget with basic controls and a small (possibly scrolling) display of the current artist/track.
The keyboard media keys work to pause/play and skip/reverse on my late-2013 MacBook Pro. Roon app has to be running of course but not in the foreground.
If you’re on a Mac and a Touch Bar fan (nobody), you could play/pause without changing apps by using the Touch Bar.
But I’m really posting because I want some sort of widget too
Seriously, I’m so surprised the many requests for a mini player like itunes offers has not gained traction with the roon development team. The itunes one is pretty much perfect, and I often choose that over roon when at my pc.
I completely agree and have been asking for this feature for at least two years. The absence of a mini-player is, in my view, the only shortcoming of the Roon software.
Hi,
I noticed there is a nice little Roon control window on the Windows 11 Lock screen that displays what is playing as well as a play/pause, next and previous controls.
Is there any way to have that little control window available maybe in the notification tab or as a widget?
Thanks
