Not a question of being cool, just a question of snarking that this isnā€™t something ā€œbigā€ without being gaslit by demands to clap like the marketing monkeys would like us to. Edit, since the above apparently offended sensitivities: I get that management demands Brave New World type happy-happy clappy-clappy compliance here, so have a great time reporting and keeping them happy. ---

> [@Suedkiez](#): > > Whatever the case, itā€™s better to have Nugs than not, I fail to see what your problem is. Donā€™t use it if you donā€™t like it (just like I donā€™t use any classical stuff) and be happy that itā€™s there for those who do. Oh, I donā€™t have a problem with it per se - I have a problem with it being presented as anything significant at all, when core functionality is essentially being left to rot and Harman (or should I say Samsung) is happy to let customers play tech support. You know what Iā€™d call ā€œsomething bigā€ ? [Any of the top requests](https://community.roonlabs.com/c/feedback/feature-suggestions/12/l/latest?order=votes), or even a damn answer on any of themā€¦ Roon has time to integrate some irrelevant service, but in the meantimeā€¦ Podcasts has been a feature request for the better part of a decade. The most requested feature, i.e, ARC for Desktop (that I read as a merger of the mobile and desktop clients, something that in my mind should always have been the case) is three years old. Family accounts, which requires no expansion of the workforce, is six years old. Atmos playback ? Five. [Thereā€™s no automatic fallback for those cases when Cloudflare goes down](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/roon-search-dependent-on-cloudflare/310306/), because itā€™s totally normal to expect a non-technical consumer to understand that one button transparently uses the internet while the other doesnā€™t. So yeah, Iā€™m with yall: clap, clap, clap, weā€™ve got something ā€œbigā€ coming. Itā€™s an anecdotal streaming service. ---

The reason I ā€œlikedā€ one of the posts that expressed negativity about this isnā€™t that I question the value proposition of nugs. I just have zero interest in paying for a subscription to nugs and then using Roon as an interface to it. If nugs is interesting to me, Iā€™m going to just use nugs directly. No amount of Roon integrating it with search, library management, or whatever else can convince me otherwise because I am, as the idiom goes, ā€œonce bitten, twice shyā€. Roon has too many problems acting as an interface to Qobuz for me to think I want to add more underlying services. It has a bifurcated model (Roon and ARC) for home vs. away. It canā€™t download cloud content for online. It canā€™t show me new releases at the time they become available. It is constantly having one problem or another syncing favorites, playlists or whatever. Right now, Roon on iOS is constantly crashing for me when I click on songs found in search. This is a known issue and has been for weeks. As long as stuff like that kicks around in the apps for extended periods of time, I am deeply uninterested in new content sources being added. Get the apps to an exceptional state, address the outstanding issues that span networking, content management, cloud integration, database corruption, etc. and, if you add a new content service at that point, Iā€™ll have a very different reaction. ---

This was a much better post than your first one, your POV is more clear (even if I donā€™t agree with each point). I keep coming back to find out what the big news is. If its Nugs, great, i will check it out. If itā€™s not, they should have course corrected a long time ago. So agree with your point that its not clear how this ā€œbigā€ news fits with long outstanding requests. ---

Upcomming ā€œSomething bigā€ is not so important to me as Iā€™m completely new to Roon, which is something big anyway. I never forget the experience of my first Frank Zappa concerts in the 70th, because they were like from another world compared to all others at that time. ---
