Hello @Dirk_De_Taey,
Thank you for reaching out and for sharing the screenshot — that helps clarify the situation.
The “New releases for you” section in Roon is populated using release date metadata provided by the streaming service (in this case, Qobuz). Roon does not independently determine whether an album is “new” based on content age or when it was originally recorded.
If the streaming service reports the release date as 2025, Roon will treat it as a new release and surface it accordingly, even if the music itself (or a similar version) has existed for years.
Unfortunately, this is not something we can adjust on the Roon side. The only way this behavior changes is if the streaming service corrects or updates the release date metadata.
We appreciate the feedback, though — it’s a valid concern, and we’re happy to pass it along to our product team as feedback regarding how “New Releases” are surfaced.
Funny, I thought (probably incorrectly) that the post was saying that the grandchildren are now 8 years old but Roon is posting new releases for children aged 2 (because he was seeing “Children (2)” in the Roon new releases, which of course means that there are two new releases in the children category (not that these new releases are for children age two). But again, I’m probably completely misinterpreting the original post (and have no idea how old those two children’s releases are).
You are 100% correct in your thinking.
It would be nice if Roon would stop recommending music for 2 years old as my grandchildren have grown up in the meantime.
Do you mean you prefer not to get any children’s music recommendations? Roon is not recommending music for 2 year old children. It is simply recommending TWO new releases that are categorized as children’s music (of any age)
Unfortunately I only get recommendations of chilwrens music for 2-3 years old.
Never seen another one.
So yes it would be great to not receive any recommendations at all
Frankly, I think you would be better off raising this in Feedback and being explicit in what is happening here.
The relevance of “New releases for you” is supposed to be driven by your listening habits. Were you playing Children’s music to your grandchildren some years back?
It may be that that genre has got stuck in Roon’s algorithm for choosing which new releases to show you. Or that the algorithm does not take into account changing tastes over time. Either way, raise it in Feedback to bring the situation to the attention of the product team for improvement.
BTW, I don’t get any New Releases For You in the Children’s genre, but I see that there are a number of subgenres that Roon will surface for me if I wanted them…
Hello @Dirk_De_Taey,
Thank you for the clarification — that helps a lot.
At the moment, this behavior is expected given how the product currently works.
The “New Releases for You” section is driven by a combination of:
If children’s music was played in the past (for example, for your grandchildren), that preference can remain “sticky” in the recommendation model, and today there is no user-facing control to exclude or reset a specific genre from recommendations.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a way right now to:
That said, this is very valid feedback, and you’re not the only user who has raised similar concerns.
We do have internal plans to rework and improve recommendations. Leaving your feedback in the Feedback > Feature Suggestions section is genuinely helpful — those posts are reviewed by the product team, and concrete real-world examples like yours help prioritize and shape that work.
So while I can’t offer a direct workaround today, your feedback can absolutely help accelerate and improve this part of Roon going forward.
Thanks again for taking the time to explain — and for sticking with us.
