Roon 1.7 Is Available!

[One and a half]

A real peeve was the sloppy handling of box sets which could contain a collection of existing albums with differing names to the title of the box set.

 

This is now addressed, although 200 tracks might be light for popular music, such as complete works of Frank Sinatra....

 

"Album Screen Improvements

This release also includes 2 changes on the album screen.

First, multi-disc sets up to 200 tracks will now get a new All Tracks tab. This view will allow you to view the entire album in a single list, which should ensure better presentation of multi-part works that span multiple discs."

 

The Tags are improved, Roon quote an example of titles from HDtracks as a source, all purchased from HDtracks, so these can be searched, it's handy for me as sources are from all over the place, if it's a ripped CD, the original must be (somewhere) in the house.

 

As for Valance, wait and see. The stream to your device anywhere from home is not going to happen with Roon. The downloading of all this data is not going over the 5G/4G anytime soon, for that Jriver works reasonably well.

 

I hope that progress bar can be moved up and the time counter can display time remaining.

 

The internet Radio looks a lot better on screen with the genres, may actually try to use it this time around.
