The suggestions that appear for me in the Roon home page ‘New Releases for you’ are curious (to the point of being unusable).
I find I have to login to Tidal just to see what new releases it recommends for me since that is much more reliable.
However, I feel I should not need to be doing that.
How does Roon come up with the suggestions ?
How are they unusable? Are they recommending snoop dogg when you listen to opera?
Or is the general genre on target but the artists not to your taste?
Here is what Roon suggests for me.
Here is the Tidal equivalent.
Saxon, for example, not a genre I listen to at all.
I assume my Tidal listens via Roon should still feed into my Tidal recommendations. Also that my Tidal recommendations should feed into my Roon ones. Is that how it is supposed to work ?
I’ve had the same experience, the section is basically useless most of the time. Oddly enough it does pick up artists I actually like but then it just fills the section with almost 100 albums I would never like.
I agree Roon suggestions for new music have no correlation to my listening habits. Tidal offering are much closer.
The odd point is that Roon Radio does an excellent job of finding music that correlates with the last album I played.
The are rather unusable because for me they are cliche and uninspiring - not very sophisticated, “heavy-handed” you might say…
If Mozart then Beethoven, why not Muzio Clementi for example?
I subscribe to Qobuz and Tidal but I don’t use the native apps at all, the Roon recommendations for new releases tends to be on point, if I don’t like the suggestion personally I can understand why it was recommended.
Is there anything in your local files library that may be affecting it? I don’t have a local library in Roon.
I don’t know the Roon algorithm and how it selects it, I assumed it was what you listened to, which for me seems accurate mostly.
I’m unfamiliar with that music, is Mozart like Beethoven, I honestly don’t know.
I have a local library but probably 2/3 of my listens are via Tidal. The local library is the same sort of genres I would listen via Tidal (though perhaps more bias towards the electronic).
Do you have this section set to relevance or newest.
Newest tends to just show most releases, relevance is better matched to your habits and library but still not great.
Ok thanks, wasn’t aware of that setting (as I normally don’t click on ‘more’. It was set to newest. Using ‘by relevance’ does improve matters. I’ll need to monitor to see if things are missing.
I guarantee it won’t be as good as Tidals own they are are the best of any for my tastes but I stopped using Tidal a while back and only use Qobuz now.
Could you please expand upon your comment here. Thanks
Expand on what exactly? Look at the area in question you will work it out.
Are you talking about the Tidal section in Roon. I looked there and hit more but still could not find options for Changing what is displayed. I then searched most of the items in the menu but did not see these options. I would appreciate a bit of guidance.
My post wasn’t about Tidal neither was this thread. It about Roons New Releases for You section. You can’t change anything on the Tidal page it doesn’t give you any of their curated stuff as it’s not available to other apps.
Sorry. There were several posts that did relate to Tidal within this thread. I do see what you were referencing if I go to my home page in Roon and look at the New Release suggestions.
What I find weird about Roon’s New Releases recommendations are that they’re different on my devices: I get a one set on both my iPad and iPhone (that is, they’re identical), but an entirely different, and more eclectic and odd set on my Macbook.
The setting to show relevance or newest is set per device so if it’s different on one it will show different results to the other. I can’t say I have witnessed given different results other than because of this difference being set.
Where do I find that setting?
