I am using tags quite much but already cannot remember how it was in 1.7 …
I think both can make sense, there should be a choice for whether a tag selection is AND or OR.
Exactly, should be a toggle. I like the look of it but there are a few bugs and bits and bobs to sort out. They’ll get there… they also need to separate out the server for Roon and the one for the Forums… everything went ars@ over t1t today!
Yeah, forum on the same server/pipe was bad
The album covers in album view are much larger now, right? Kind of nice to look at but much less content one one screen. Unfortunately no option in the album display settings
There is a Start Radio option now in the menu for the album, is that new? I thought that radio always used the last track only for the seed?
I’ve posted a few of my findings in the 1.8 feedback thread at Roon. Hopefully they’ll work their way through the posts to pickup on things that need to sort out!
Certainly saved buying a 12 inch iPad Pro.
Pays for lifetime
That is a hugely retrograde design choice in my opinion. Members of the Roon forum are reporting that version 1.8 displays only 50% of the number of albums displayed than previously with version 1.7.
I will do that too, but first want to experience it without huge lags and get used to it
Let me be the first to say “sounds good”
Yeah Tags definitely not working as they did before, it’s broken most of my bookmarks, hope that’s a bug to be resolved and not a feature!!
My experience with 1.8 has been positive overall, I quite like it.
Obviously there are room for improvement, and Roon is now gathering feedback from users.
They have admitted there metaadata servers are under heavy load and are trying to sort it.
Never had albums missing all the same as it was on 1.7 no one reported this on the beta forum so this might be a side affect of the metadata server issues.
That was also raised in the beta forum. It’s just crazy they went ahead all because the press leaked the date, if they hadn’t it would/should have been held back. It’s not ready.
Always had options to start radio from any track as a seed it’s only if you leave it play to end of playlist it will seed from last track.
Yes from any track, but now (?) it’s there in the album menu, which looks to me as if it would take more than one track into account (and the last one is often not representative)
It’s nice that on the artist page the artist name etc. is on the left. Less likely to collide with a face in the center of the image and also works better if the image is not in wallpaper format. (In 1.7., images that were less wide where tiny and centered and then also collided with text)
Makes 1.7 sound ‘broken’
It is easier to follow individual instruments. The soundstage is deeper as well
Personally, I found it more open… also, it was like a veil had been lifted!
Nothing new, but something I never figured out: Can I show only a certain rating? I.e., not “3 stars and more” or “less than 3 stars”, but only 3 stars?
Scrolling on my tablet and my phone (both current Android) was pretty fluid with 1.7 but is now sluggish. On the upside, on my phone everything was far too small with 1.7 and is much better now
Upgraded my ROCK and apps earlier and now my ND5 XS 2 has disappeared as an Audio device. Probably needs a hard-bounce which I’ll do tomorrow morning.
I just had to re-select a zone, i.e. the NDX2
