This ↑ but, having said that, judging this (bizarre) change is a bit difficult when we’re not privy to the ‘big picture’ roadmap. I prefered ‘room core’ too.

24

Danny’s coreless/serverless Roon dream perhaps ? Would make sense eventually. But then they have just bundled Tailscale with RoonOs.

Surprisingly (or not), no mention of “In App Purchases” :wink:

Which would have been better named Roon Mobile.

Then there is the name Muse for DSP…:roll_eyes::-1:

My Roon doesn’t work with my Roon, and my Roon can’t see it either; I rebooted Roon, and reset Roon, but I think Roon needs re-installing - Where is support? I’m not a-MUSE-d :upside_down_face:

If they change the name of the ICON to “Roon Remote” it will be too small to read on the phone.

I always thought it was strange I had to search for “Roon Remote” and install “Roon Remote” instead of “Roon” in the Play store.

Yes, I’ve always thought it should follow this logic as well. Even having the installer (one main installer?) prompt for the indiv options the user would select, would make it much less confusing (Linux cmd line call the indiv switches)

41

And that is a good thing. “Roon Remote” clarifies the app’s function – what it actually does and does not do.

Putting just “Roon” in the App Store or on Google Play draws in users who then think that Roon is a self contained phone/tablet app and cannot understand why, for example, they cannot stream Tidal or connect to their local music files on NAS.

And we get enough of these with it as Roon Remote so without I bet a lot more. They still don’t do a good enough job of describing its architecture properly or putting it where you can’t miss it, but then people will still ignore it as well regardless. So is human nature.

Please read the PS in my post for more places where Roon Labs still uses the now obsolete “Roon Remote” term:
