My Likes: The convenience of quick access to music in my library. The quality of music reproduction using hi-end audio items (headphones in my case). The extra information available on music via digital booklets (some composed by me), reviews and links - particularly helpful for classical music M…

Thank you for taking the time to explain, I appreciate it. Thinking about it, it seems like a workflow issue rather than a problem. Search can be performed outside of streaming platforms via search engine / AI agent, as data is readily available and public. Result of that search could be compared to…

Sound like an opportunity to create a solution using APIs from MusicBrainz or Discogs (they provide individual developer access while companies like Qobuz do not) and pipe the results to Roon Lab’s API services so the results show up in a separate UI or Roon itself. Consider sending a PM to @MusicD …

I accepted the 11th anniversary offer, with 11 weeks for $1. My conclusion is disappointing. I can’t sort my favorite songs, and I can’t like songs except in … I don’t know what conditions. The songs from Tidal or Qobuz that I add to favorites in, are not added in the Tidal and Qobuz applications, w…

Possibly learning how to use Roon might have been an advantage? Trying to make Roon behave like other systems often leads to disappointed users.

[image] Dadoo: Consider sending a PM to @MusicD for his experiences creating the album randomizer app Thanks for the mention :hugs::folded_hands: I’ll have a look at this as an extra for the randomiser.

Labels :innocent: [image] New Random Album Extension Roon API I’ll push v1.5.8 out as an update for anyone interested. I’ve managed to speed it up. My library is ~12k albums.

Well, to answer your question - I just love that it works first time every time. That’s Roon and Arc client. And it’s ultra fast on any device. Cons - hmm, I’ve been thinking for 30 seconds and I can’t think of anything. Maybe more customisation of the home page? And an all in 1 app instead of …

If it helps any, I subscribe to only Tidal and never use the Tidal app because I prefer to just use and get used to only one music streaming app. I find that Roon is very good at that. Also, I think that by design Roon isn’t allowed by Tidal to sync their database with Tidal’s database. So yeh, I…

Pros: no other music app comes close to the look and feel of Roon. Love love love the interface. Cons: offline mode on Arc. Star rating for tracks (workaround is tags). Missing the ability to add music to a DAPs external storage (microcard or whatever it is called). Smart playlists (needs furthe…

I’m surprised I haven’t seen more mentions of Muse (love the feature:heart_eyes:, not so much the name :unamused_face:). Muse is a feature I would greatly miss if it went away. Other favorites include multichannel capabilities (though bitstream pass through for Dolby/DTS/etc would be a fantastic …

What do you like, and dislike, about Roon?
