@Sloop_John_B I’m totally relaxed about this problem and stay cheerful because I have so much music to discover with my own or AI intelligence (library, Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify…).
Roon radio can be turned on and off manually. To me, it’s just another attempt at what artificial intelligence can already do on Roon.
Valence is not yet at the EchoNest level, and it will also be difficult to derive the same algorithms from a few thousand people that Spotify derives from half a billion customers. But the Spotify song radios are copied everywhere and it is an automatic learning process that grows more rapidly with the amount of data.
Incidentally, this also applies to Roon’s radio results, which simply select better with 2.7 million songs than if I start a small subset of a few favorites.
With only 3000 own songs, the artificial intelligence probably quickly gets the idea to only scan this field of gold.
