This type of user is not as much interested in the Daily Mix Playlists, the Roon curated Playlists or even Roon Radio, as the playback performance, UI/UX of accessing their own Music Library (artist images, album artwork, search performance, etc.)įor this user, the local library is the primary source, is likely to have been collected, groomed, and where possible exists in the highest format they can obtain. Those who predominantly use Roon to access a local library of files, with occasional internet streaming to ‘fill in’, discover new music or access an internet radio station. Yes, I feel there are different distinct user types for Roon presently: I have converted quite a few people to use Roon, would definitely not do so at the moment. I am fed up of looking at the Roon app on my devices, waiting for it to do what it is supposed to do. I have a mix and mainly use my library and it just sucks at the moment. Seems like users that mainly rely on streaming are much happier. The last updates are sucking out the fun that I always had with Roon. So just getting up, putting the CD into the player has now become much faster, more reliable and practical than using Roon.

I am glad I still have the CDs that I ripped for Roon. Sitting down on the sofa wanting to just listen to an album, also difficult - restart Core, rebuild library - wait, wait, wait and finally search, not finding the album.

I am constantly restarting the Core - since all Roon is showing is that little symbol - then it works for a while.īut whenever I just want to listen to Radio - not even that works - Roon is showing the little symbol. Since the final release I hardly use Roon anymore, finding (in a quick way) what I am searching (classical) is difficult or often impossible.

I was also part of the Beta team which should help improve the Search function… ah well… In the past I have had my issues with it, but the overall function always kept me with it.
