Roon Radio - Thumbs Up / Down Button

[Jan_Reinmueller]

@mike

The content can come from your local library or not, but you won’t be able to give feedback on content you queued yourself – the thumbs only allow for feedback on tracks that Roon picked.

Clear now.

@mike

It’s somewhat confusing ‘the thumbs’ are still there on the Roon Radio screen when you are in local library mode. In that context it’s being used to build a queue, not adjust Roon’s algorithm.

This is correct too – in this case, the feedback isn’t helping tune selections in Valence, it’s more about helping you"pre-approve" a queue, like if you want to line up a bunch of music before your dinner party starts, or the shower use case Brian mentioned here:

Clear as well.

@mike

Those thumbs are to help you build a queue. They let you approve/disapprove of the picks, build a queue that you are 100% confident in, then walk away and take a shower and not worry about being subject to a song that you absolutely hate while you are trapped and soaking wet. There is a detailed discussion of the thumbs and what they mean/how to think about them here: We will probably move away from thumbs iconography on the queue screen in the future. It has actually been in the product wit…

I think people like the feature a lot but as you stated the icon itself should change to something more intuitive / obvious.

thanks for clarification, very interesting topic.
