What's New in Roon Remote (Legacy)

1.8.01151

November 15, 2022

Roon 1.8 has a completely new look and feel, but the differences are more than skin deep. Roon uses its deep metadata and an understanding of over 100,000 expert listeners from Valence, to suggest music with uncanny sensitivity and insight. In 1.8, Roon’s Focus feature goes beyond your library, giving you a 360º- view of artists, genre, performers, and composers. Classical recordings also have a new layout, designed to make it easy to find the classical recordings you’re looking for.

This will cause great pain

Roon is a hassle overly complex and doesn’t work correctly and the NO Support.

Does not showing my iPhone12 Max

I’m not ready to 2.0 but staying 1.8 .. i downloaded 1.8 legacy ver 1126 then install this compatibility app so on .. it does not play music or showing my iPhone like the Roon remote 1.8 before i used to … it’s very annoyed.

Does not connect with Roon Core 1.8 build 1105

Unfortunately the transition to Roon 2.0 is mangled. Now I cannot use the Roon app on my iPhone or iPad because it fails to connect with the legacy Roon Core. Works only if I remotely log into my Mac Mini server to control the playback on the server.
