One of the most exciting things about being a music lover is finding “our” music. Whether it’s a new release or older stuff we never knew existed, hearing new sounds for the first time takes us on an accelerated tour through our past, reminding us of other revelations that opened new sonic vistas. These moments become highlight reels of our music journey. No other art form exhibits quite the same power to imbue our memories and evoke emotion. It’s magic whenever we hear a track we love and instantly remember a time and place in our past that’s forever linked to that song. 

Our latest release is another testimonial to Roon’s unique versatility and flexibility. It delivers benefits across all our products and offers something for everyone. Roon’s new Playlist Improver relieves an irritating pain point for our playlist enthusiasts. Roon ROCK DIY’ers now have expanded connectivity options with the addition of HDMI and Thunderbolt support on NUC 12 and NUC 13. And ARC continues to grow and resemble Roon with today’s Folder Browsing feature addition.

When we rolled out our initial batch of playlist feature improvements in February of this year, we hinted at more great things to come. Today, we’re excited to deliver the goods and a solution to one of music streaming’s biggest annoyances. In the spirit of naming a trusted, reliable tool after its job, we’ve branded our new playlist feature Playlist Improver. It’s short, simple, direct, and awesome. It’s also a dream come true for Roon’s dedicated playlist creators.

Greetings, Roon ROCK enthusiasts; we have great news for you! Our new Roon OS release introduces support for HDMI audio and Thunderbolt over USB-C on NUC 12+ hardware and fixes HDMI port functionality for Nucleus Titan.

Our newest software update is guaranteed to be music to your ears: AirPlay 2 streaming support has officially landed in Roon! It’s always thrilling to check off another box on your audio wish lists, especially one that so many of you have been eager to see hear.

We’re back with an exciting new update full of ARC improvements, including one that many of you have eagerly anticipated: Siri and Google Assistant voice control for CarPlay and Android Auto! Now, it’s easier than ever to “keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel” and enjoy safe, easy, hands-free access to your favorite music while you drive. All you have to do is tell ARC what you’re in the mood for, and it’ll do the rest.
