When a company starts talking about double NAT and port forwarding. You know they have gotten something fundamentally wrong. If Plex and others can do it, so can you. Not good enough, work it out.
The music software is great and I love the way it collates all my album files. But Arc while great, when it connects, is totally frustrating to troubleshoot. It keeps disconnecting from server on my PC. I’m sick of paying for this software after a year and thinking of dumping it with all it glitches. I just go with a streamer so easy on the go.
Totally pointless because you can’t see the Album track list after your have saved one track to your library . I contacted ROON support repeatedly and got no reply as they don’t consider this is an issue according to the support forum. For me not being able to view the album track list is like not have a play button . Makes what could be a great app useless.
I’m using iPhone with ARC. I use within a wifi connection at home. I want to download albums from the core and it’s so slow today. It hasn’t been a problem before with all the same settings. Also ARC disconnects from the core too much. I can’t even use it remotely without some elaborate work around which I don’t have the time for. Its a great program on the desktop but It’s becoming very unreliable like a lot of technology.
I’m writing from the perspective of using my own media to stream remotely over mobile. I have tried Tidal and qobuz: these streaming services presumably would make for a better experience, but they are premium products and I am not deeming them necessary at this time. Streamers aside, the Roon ecosystem under review is great for music lovers, and the attention to detail from setting up genre-based playlists to abundant assistance with the tracks’ metadata is quite astonishing! Those positives save the day. However streaming my media over cellular has (to date) been a non-starter. Maybe it would work with lossy music? Redbook FLAC (16/44.1) will need fairly beefy iDevice storage to be accessed anywhere beyond your listening room. Good luck with downloading!
Thank you roon. I had to change my isp to make ARC work for me, absolutely worth it. Highly recommend.
Like many Australians living outside of the big cities, mobile data coverage can be very spotty. This is especially an issue with high quality, large audio streaming. Tidals iOS app is obviously rubbish, and their CarPlay app is even worse, but at least you can download the music. This is really the only option if you're driving around. Whilst I understand that it's the rights management issue raising it's ugly head once again, and as such I doubt will get addressed, the lack of downloading for Tidal is a bit of a show stopper for me. Shame as the app otherwise looks pretty decent
Some files keep showing as corrupt media. I found out all corrupted are files with non English names and it happens when they are downloaded
