There are a lot of nice new features and improvements here. As in the past, I'm sure, as in past updates, they will send out a bug fix fairly soon.

Warning to Qobuz users: roon 1.7 won't play hi-res files from qobuz...

Works fine for me. Under "services" there is a tab for streaming quality, and mine is set to up to 24192. It's streaming Qobuz in 24/192 when available.

try logging out of Qobuz in Roon and then logging back into your account.

An update that once again proves Roon badly needs to hire an actual designer vs leaving it up to engineers to monkey with the UX/UI. So ho hum. I'm a lifetime purchaser so maybe they'll pull it together someday...

What music software does it better?

 

 

 

Keep in mind I'm just talking about primarily the look, though functionally still too many arrows to go here and there, horizontal scrolling still on pc's and laptops, too many extra steps for some functions, and lack of user customization. It's just not a particularly modern looking/functioning software. It is unique in what it does, just not how it looks and interfaces with the user.

I suspect the default option for any new settings that are introduced is "No". In this case it moved your cheese, but as you say, it's easily rectified. Personally, I prefer my music without track numbers. Everybody's different.

I hear you for sure but the default should’ve been “no change” rather than “no” in my book. 
 

Guess that’s why I’m not involved with software development 😁

Anyone having trouble with tracks skipping (track starts and plays for a bit, then skip to next) (happened with both Tidal and Qobuz)?  I've had it happen several times in the last 15 min.  Internet is working fine.

Thankfully the update went off without a hitch for me.  I have a basic setup with a laptop used as the Roon core that I use in one room to manage streaming of Tidal and Qobuz with a smattering few ripped CD's and Hi-Res files with stuff that mostly isn't available to stream.  I do make use of a display with a Chromecast to show the lyrics and general track info.   

 

What would really be convenient for me would be the ability to edit the Now Playing queue to pull in additional information about the track.  I typically go to the albums section and Shuffle.  Sometimes I will look at the first few dozen songs and thumb up or down, but mostly I just let it go and enjoy.  It would be nice to see the "Last Played" and "Play Number" or any of the fields available in the Track section.

I'm having issues with tidal.Drop outs and music stopping.Takes some times up to 10 secs to start next song.Never had issue until update.Tidal works fine with everything but Roon for me
