RE: Roon 1.8 first impressions - blair.athol - 12-Feb-2021 +1 Thank you, Mdcconnelly, I can only agree. My experience is just the same and I had a long listening session last night wich I really enjoyed.

At first I was skeptical about the new design and functions, etc. After two days I am fully convinced! I have no regrets that I bought Roon Lifetime. RE: Roon 1.8 first impressions - bernardl - 13-Feb-2021 As mentioned my comments are not about the new UI. I find it appealing which I decided to upgrade quickly after availability. Here is the thread to read to understand the issues people are having: https://community.roonlabs.com/t/roon-1-8-build-748-756-feedback/140792/1132 Already 1600 posts, more than twice in 4 days than the level of feedbacks 1.7 generated in months.

Hi Bernard, there are also positive reports about Roon 1.8! https://community.roonlabs.com/t/roon-1-8-is-great/141843 RE: Roon 1.8 first impressions - mdconnelly - 13-Feb-2021 There are certainly legitimate issues with 1.8 and I applaud those that raised them in that 1600+ post thread. The problem is finding the useful and valid posts through the vast number of pointless, negative comments. Don’t even get me started on the “1.8 is a Massive Failure” thread. I wish the moderators could simply delete the noise yet leave those posts with constructive comment so that Roon and users can learn from and respond to them. I suppose we can interpret this as a whole lot of Roon users who really care about this software, but reading through it was just demoralizing. Gotta think there’s a ton of pent-up anger out there. Personally, I’m really enjoying 1.8. The more I use it, the more I appreciate what Roon is striving to accomplish. It’s clear that an immense amount of design effort went into this. So I think I’m just going to spend more time listening via Roon and far less time reading about it in their forums.

My point isn’t that everything is wrong with 1.8 nor that Roon is a terrible company. Those who wrote these 128 comments certainly have very valid points. I am looking forward to the ability to use focus on both my local library and Quobuz for example. That is as soon as I’ll be able to play music in my local library. For now Roon still can’t see it. Never has any music replay system caused such a disruption of service to me in the past. I am aware I could buy a NAS or use my back up one as a workaround and that most people don’t suffer from this issue. As a software pro though I wouldn’t consider my job well done if 100% of my users weren’t able to use the most basic feature or my software. Cheers, Bernard RE: Roon 1.8 first impressions - mdconnelly - 13-Feb-2021 @bernardl - Have there been others with the type of problem you've run into? I tend to gloss over linux posts since I don't use it for Roon, so I'm wondering if you've got a unique issue or if this has popped up for others also running Roon on Linux. Either way, that is totally frustrating. I have little patience for those ranting over a color change, but if you can't listen to your music, then that is just wrong and needs to be fixed. Hopefully someone at Roon can help. Best of luck with it. RE: Roon 1.8 first impressions - bernardl - 14-Feb-2021 Thanks for your empathy. 😀 The same problem has been reported by others, there is a support thread over at Roon community. It seems related to a specific type of Linux file system. Mounting the local disk as a logical network share is a workaround but for reasons I won’t detail here not applicable for me unfortunately. There are other ways around that I could deploy but it’s just tîme consuming and is 180 degrees away from the non complexity I like Roon for in the first place. Cheers, Bernard |
