Description of Issue

Possible bug: When going to Live Radio menu on Roon 1.8 (Build 1021) on MacOS 12.5.1 or IOS 15.6.1 (iPad 8th Gen), selecting multiple radio streams and pressing the “Play” button has no effect.

Selecting a single radio stream and pressing the “Play” button works as expected.

Note: I wish to select multiple radio so I can find a program that suites my current mood. There might be another way to that I am not aware of. Thanks for enlightening me in case.

You can only play one radio station at a time. Like a radio.

Incidentally, your core machine is woefully inadequate to run Roon reliably.

Incidentally, I tweaked Linux a bit and it runs only the bare minimum services. I am running Roon for many years without major problems, streaming sometimes to 3 endpoints.

Roon high yearly fees are not allowing me to save for a decent machine

That’s understood, but I want to add several radio in a queue so I can quickly switch from one to the next one until I find a nice program.

If not possible, then the UI should not allow selection of multiple radio streams.

On my phone it won’t allow me to do so, perhaps you have found a UI inconsistentcy.

Hi @FVO ,

Thanks for the feedback here. The expected behavior here is that when you select multiple radio stations, the Play button is deactivated.

Since this is not a current feature of Roon, I would recommend also posting your suggestion in the Feature Suggestions section of the site.

Our product team and developers keep a close eye on that category, so that’s definitely the best place to propose a change like this and get feedback from the Community.
