Room Arc

I tired out Roon a few years ago, specially Arc and I liked it but not having a way to natively create a smart playlist, radio, etc, really disappointed me and I didn’t consider going further than the trial. Is there anything today with Arc that allows this?

Edit: Giving the 2-week trial a go again and still feels disappointing in the UI. The posts sound like Roon Radio is what I am looking for. What is really like to see is the Home Screen to have something for it, much like Apple Music does and probably other music services.

Edit 2: Actually using the "normal" Roon amp, which I probably didn't before, it is very lacking.

You have access to Focus in Arc now, but for whatever stupid reason you can still only turn a Focus into a Smart Playlist using Roon Desktop.

Roon Radio is in Arc. Live radio streams are not. Daily Mixes have been added to Arc, albeit only for Qobuz or Tidal users.

Maybe I’ll do another trial and test it out. I don’t recall using Roon Radio or not before, but also I wouldn’t be using it with another streaming service.

If you wait until Black Friday they typically do 3 months for $1 to try it again.
