Roon 1.8 has been released, aka the winter update of this year. You will find several new features and functions in it, so time to install!
New in Roon 1.8 is Art Director, which gives you control over how images are displayed in the software. Adjust the position of images, upload your own images and vote for your favorites. Because that’s also what Roon 1.8 offers: even more integration with an online community. This is arranged via Valence, the system’s cloud-based data platform. Another new feature is the option to use Playlists by Roon – previously available on Tidal and Qobuz – directly from within Roon.
Even smarter searching
Furthermore, the search functionality of Roon has been tinkered with again; it has become a bit smarter. Furthermore, the buffer and cache system of the software has been updated, which should make this version a little less demanding on system the program is running on. Finally, it has become easier to set volume limits, divided into zones. More information about new features can be found here.
