Roon 1.8 first impressions

[bernardl]

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-...40792/1132

Already 1600 posts, more than twice in 4 days than the level of feedbacks 1.7 generated in months.

Cheers,

Hi Bernard, there are also positive reports about Roon 1.8!

Yes, certainly. 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
