many community members said that fuses and cables make a difference, too. That’s because (M)any community members are idiots. Like people who think that RS130 has any sound. It does not.

Aperfectly workable Roon server can be built for about ~USD300-500. And that’s if you do not have some old unused computer, in which case it is free.

Of course it does not support music videos, it’s an audio playback system. For people who are serious about music, it’s the best available system (not to say that there’s no room for improvement). For people who are more interested in boasting how much money they wasted on useless audiophile crap, it’s not really necessary.

Given that there is now a version of Audirvana that runs on Linux, and that Android is (pretty much)Linux based, how about a port of Audirvana running on the Rose hardware. I guess it would have to be be audio only, but for those who don’t use the youtube stuff it would get round all the user interface issues of RoseOS.

Well, it IS a wish list :grinning:

Still nothing on Airplay 2 for this year?

Is there really a meaningful benefit for AirPlay 2 over 1? https://rn.dmglobal.com/usmodel/Differences_between_AirPlay_vs._AirPlay-2.pdf

My understanding is AirPlay 1 is always lossless while AirPlay 2 is not, or not always given it’s designed for stability over performance.

If you have a computer you can try roon for yourself and make your own call. As others have pointed out you can build/buy a roon core for $300 or less. Intel NUC + USB stick with roon ROCK is all you need.

If you take not other advice on this or other forums, please don’t believe or trust what “many community members said”. Try EVERYTHING yourself! If something is free, like roon. Why the hell not try it? You might like ROSE OS better, I bet you won’t…

It would be very helpful to update the DLNA module to support the OpenHome extensions. This would deliver better functionality and support more/better control points.

For streaming devices like the Rose 150b, add a toggle in settings so that after a playlist finishes, the display screen switches automatically to the clock or another user selectable screen rather than just displaying “the selected queue is empty”.

Most important request for me:

I desire to play & manage music playlists (not albums). Thus, add “Playlists” as a 1st level option (in left column). When Playlists is selected, show a display listing all playlists (from all subscribed music streamers, RS130 playlists, and all fn.m3u files in my local library disks). When user selects a specific playlist, show sub-menu “View, Edit, Play”.

  • View shows listing of all the songs in the playlist
  • Edit an RS130 Playlist - permits user to add, delete, move a song’s playback position, and move a song to a different RS130 playlist
  • Play adds the Playlist to RS130’s Queue

For RS130 Playlist, permit user to add a song, add a folder’s complete set of songs with all subfolder songs, add a folder’s complete set of songs without subfolder songs.

When RS130 plays a playlist song, in addition to the song title, artists and metadata, show on Front Panel “(‘playlist name’ Playlist, n of x)” where n is the song’s current position within the playlist and x is the total #of songs in the playlist.

Permit user to create, delete an RS130 Playlist.

The ability to use and manipulate a playlist is sorely missing. These are all good suggestions which would enhance the functionality of playlists immensely.

To make the User Interface more friendly: When a user selects an album, playlist, music song or music video:

  • put Play and Queue in the top of the pop-up menu
  • if user selects Play, put the selected item in the top of the queue
  • if user selects Queue, put the selected item at the bottom of the queue

This is a psychological concept which makes the user think the Interface is intuitive. In essence, all playback is still queue centric. Its like a trick of the eye, users intuitively thinks Play is “play now” and Queue “is play later; ie, playback in the Queued order”.

With this easy implementation, I strongly believe users will view the Interface more friendly.

Those are very good suggestions. Easy to implement and user friendly.

I too would like it to have Presto Music.
