Roon takes a long time to load every time I start

[Don_Faust]

I have an Intel i3 with 16 GB RAM. My music collection is on a Synology NAS with 336,000 songs.
Roon takes several minutes to load, and accessing through remote devices is so slow its makes it not worth the effort.

Any way to get it to load faster?

@Don_Faust What exactly is your cpu model and are you using ssd? 330k tracks is a lot and will take a few mins to load even on an i7-7700. Browsing is where you need the speed…loading will be slower if your not using an ssd for your OS. The nas is not the issue normally when performance is slow unless you are running the core on the nas.

I run my core 24/7 so don’t shut it down…that helps a lot won’t improve your remote use tho…that’s just your core running out of puff

Suggested hardware

It feels like the answer to most “will it work?” questions is going to be “It’ll work, but it won’t be as good as it could be”, because lets be honest, no-one is going to wonder whether a Mac Pro works flawlessly or not. I want to expand a little bit more to help you guys understand where the tradeoffs are so you can make good hardware decisions. As we’ve said above, Roon will run on just about anything vaguely recent. How much hardware you need to get an impeccable experience depends on how yo…

Hello @Don_Faust,

Can you please expand on what you mean by Roon is loading slowly? Is it loading albums slowly in general, is searching slow or is playback slow? Does this behavior occur across multiple Roon Remotes or is it limited to just one? Are you using an SSD?

Thanks,
Noris
