Here are a few suggestions I have for better integration of Tidal in Roon:
– Roon can add songs to my Tidal library. Why not give me the option to add all tracks in my local library to my Tidal library (assuming off course that all the metadata matches)?
– Sync Favorites between Roon and Tidal.
– Sync playlists between Roon and Tidal.
(If Roon can’t be made to work outside my network, at least the features above would make the Tidal mobile app more useful. I’ve spent literally 15 years curating my music collection in iTunes. I’m OK with doing it again once with Roon or Tidal, but I really don’t want to have to do it again separately on both Roon AND Tidal.)
More ideas:
– It would be great if Roon could automatically play the highest resolution version of an album. If I choose a file is 256Kbps, and the same song+album+version is available at 16/44.1 in Tidal, stream it from Tidal. If I choose a 16/44.1 Tidal song, but I have it locally at 24/96, play my local version. If I choose the 16/44.1 song in Tidal, but Tidal also has it in MQA, give me the MQA version.
– It would be glorious if Roon could use it’s awesome metadata muscle to transfer “Favorites” to new versions of albums on Tidal. For example, if I have “favorited” four tracks on an album, it would be great if Roon could somehow favorite those same four tracks on the new remastered/expanded/deluxe/anniversary/MQA edition of that same album.
