Roon’s Latest Update Refreshes TIDAL, Adds Daily Mixes, And More
In the latest update to Roon 1.8 (Build 806), the company states that it has further improved how you search and discover music in Roon.
This lofty claim is backed up with new personalised daily playlists, intelligent search, a totally new TIDAL interface, and several other changes, including support for back / forward gestures on iOS, and a Bootleg section added to “From My Library” on Artist Overview.
Kicking off with Daily Mixes, as the name suggests, TIDAL and Qobuz users will get six new Daily Mixes from Roon, designed to be the catalyst for exploration. Each playlist is themed on an artist from your listening history and includes 25 picks from artists you love and some you have yet to discover.
Searching for tracks, artists, and albums from all sources has generally been the main draw to Roon for many. This release features the first of many planned search evolutions: an improved user interface with predictive auto-complete. Roon now matches people and music across everything - artists, albums, tracks, genres, composers and compositions. Roon says that this will make it even easier and faster to get to the music you love.
Finally, Roon has redesigned its TIDAL page to include many of TIDAL’s latest features and content, including top charts, TIDAL staff picks and latest MQA playlists and more. As well as all of this, TIDAL’s popular “Mixes for you” feature is now available for you to enjoy in Roon!

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
