  • Specify only Benefits ← include details as to why you find the feature/function beneficial
  • Specify a beneficial feature or sub-feature even if it currently has bugs (assume the bugs have been fixed)
  • Do not include a feature you desire to be functionally upgraded

IMO, key RS130 User Interface benefits are:

  • Rose Radio

    • over 55,000 radio stations & over 200 countries ← see Radio Server at https://www.radio-browser.info/
    • user can select favorite radio stations
    • user can add any internet accessible radio station URL address (add the URL for the radio station’s playback web-page; not for the radio station’s home page)
  • RoseTube

    • Ad Free
    • Search Outcome: lists music & music videos first (search list is different than YouTube)

joyofmvid,

I love Shazam! which is in the radio station app. I enjoy seeing each album cover when a song is played on Rose radio. The ability with one click to then search all of Rose’s music sources (Qobuz, Tidal, Apple) for the album which contains the song is a treat. It is a treasure to find new music I enjoy.

I like that the artist and song are shown when listening to internet radio. My other streamer does not.
I like that the queue is always accessible by pulling the queue menu tab over.
I like that the remote control page is always 1 click away and provides all those functions.
I like the input/output map that is shown on the input/output screen which allows the user to change on the fly.
I like the “Qobuz playlists on Rose” (and Tidal) which are playlists from other users which makes it easy to discover new music.

  1. Integration with roon / displaying of tracks played from roon
  2. Being able to switch between outputs easily via UI is nice - overall management of IO vs. other hardware requiring button presses and complex manuals.
  3. Clocks and VU Meters - Beauty of display in general

I definitely like the size & quality of the Front Panel ← also nice to have an easy to learn full User Interface on the Front Panel.

For me, the Front Panel is a Wow Factor!

@Sebrof said the following at Which Streamer/Transport has the best software - #3 by Sebrof

  • You can select what happens when you tap a song in RS130 (empty the queue and play now, add to end of queue, play next, etc.)

    • this is especially nice when friends are over and everyone can put songs they wish to hear in the queue
  • Also like the queue being always accessible immediately on the right of the screen
