 Artificial intelligence advies je. De snelheid van RuneOS has increased. Search improved, streaming optimise and internet radio is now properly implemented. De eerste impressie. Er zijn ontdekkingen over de Rune vorm van de low frequency of updates. Zoals if frequent updates are a good thing. Updates that repair bugs are better than doing nothing but in general a high frequency of updates can only mean patching up what was overseen. Updates like this do happen with Rune, but they are few and far between in computer terms that is. I know they were slow picking up the changes in Mac OS Catalina. But in general the Rune software is rather reliable and stable. And I am a heavy user. When they do come out with an update like this time, it's really worthwhile. It adds a new technology to Rune called Valence, if I pronounce it well. Let's just quote RuneLabs. Valence is a system built on a massive new cloud database which uses machine learning algorithms designed without passion for music to model the many dimensions of relatedness more deeply than ever before. And because you use Rune to explore, collect and listen to the music you love, Valence understands you like no other. End of quote. You will find the Valence engine network in several sections of Rune. It will improve the selections made by the radio function that plays music based on your recent music choice. But also in the discover menu, where Rune suggests music choices based on your listening behavior. Since I have a broad taste of music and version 1.7 was just installed, I find it hard to judge right now. Valence can also be found on the overview page. The second row of albums now is called New Releases For You. Instead of bombarding you with all new releases, it picks out new releases that it considers to be relevant for you. Going through the selection, I must say that I like what is shown. Valence also plays a role in artist play and composer play. It analyzes data of 100.000 expert listeners to see what the popular pieces to play are. Remember that since version 1.6, this was already done, including music from Tidal and Kobuse, provided you are subscribed to these streaming services. It already pointed me towards interesting new music, so I'm curious what the future will bring. Valence clearly improves searching too, in both speed and precision. I recently searched for the complete version of Oh Well by Fleetwood Mac in Roon 1.6, and that took several seconds. Now in 1.7 it was almost instantaneous. My Roon Core runs on Roon OS on an Intel NUC, so not on Mac OS or Windows. Roon OS now uses Microsoft.NET care runtime, causing a speed increase of 30-40% according to Roon Labs. And that shows. For my hardware Roon was never slow, despite the almost 12.000 albums, but it has become even faster in navigating and querying. Valence should also have improved the quality of the credits and although this is very hard to verify, I do notice that the metadata on Dutch productions did improve. These were relatively poor and although I haven't checked them every release, they now are rather complete. The actual nice is that Roon now imports lyrics when they are included in the music file. Still no way to add lyrics in Roon, but if you use a tagger to add lyrics prior to importing in Roon, they will get imported in Roon. I have tried this and it works like a charm. I added lyrics to the album Till Monkeys Fly using the tagger Yate and imported the album in Roon where the lyrics are shown. All the file tags that are imported to are Involved People, TIPL, IPLS and TMCL, all labels for Involved People, as long as the data meets recognized formats. Things have also improved for classical music lovers, especially opera lovers. For now not only works and tracks are indicated, but also acts. Here we see the Götterdammeroen by Richard Wagner, nicely indexed on acts and parts. Although you could play internet radio using Roon, you had to look up the URL your station was sending on and copy that to Roon. Now there is a live radio function that lets you search for internet radio stations from all over the world. According to Roon Labs the included 1000 plus stations were hand created by the Roon community. As a user you are invited to suggest stations in the live radio category on the community site. When you click or tap live radio, some recently played stations and local stations are shown. Click view all to see more of them. Click the globe icon to search on distance or languages. Let's select a French language, sort on name and view it all. Let's select Frans Inter to see the details. I love the description. Joyeus, savant et populaire, France Inter et la radio généraliste de service publique. Joyful, knowledgeable and popular, Frans Inter is the general public service broadcaster. It somehow sounds better in French. You can also see two bit rates are available. By default the highest bit rate is selected. By pressing plus add to my library you can add it to the list my live radio. As you can see I already added name radio that does classical and jazz at 320 kbps. You can also search radio stations like you do tracks, artists or albums. Let's search for the Dutch station Radio 538. En de description is in the local language and Radio 538 offers 3 streams. Since AAC is twice as efficient as mp3, the 96 kbps stream must be better than the 128 kbps mp3 streams. So I set that as default and add it to the library so I can pick it directly in my list of chosen stations. According to RuneLab, streaming from tidal and corbus has been further optimized, reducing disk activities, CPU usage and memory traffic. As a result streaming content will start faster while a slower internet connection or lower powered cores may also benefit when streaming high resolution content. An improvement that is hard to judge especially since I have a 250 megabit per second internet connection en een Intel NUC Core i7 te run Rune Rockhound. Je kunt niet alleen een smartphone of tablet gebruiken om Rune te controleren. Je kunt ook het als Rune endpoint gebruiken. Vanaf nu is dit in de achtergrond geplaatst met de metadata en transport consoles in de Android Notification Area. Gewoon als een normaal muziekplayer. Het monitort ook audiochanges zoals als een call is gegeven of de headphones ontplugged. De signalpart zal laten zien hoe de Android device renders audio. Aparte van het maken van een playlist of bookmarks, je kunt ook tag tracks of albums. Vanaf nu kan je ook import tags. Rune let's mention a nice example. Als je hd tracks downloads in de folder hebt, kun je een tag editor gebruiken om Rune album tags in de files in dat folder. Met de value set to hd tracks downloads. Rune nu ook taggen als je een title collectie hebt. Klikkeer de tag icon in je browser en laat je de muziek selecten met de wanted tag. Updating Rune voor 1.6 tot 1.7 is either bothomatic of you get prompted, depending on your settings. Na de update van de Rune Core, moet de index bemodified, die zal wel wat tijd zijn. De speed improvement was shocking, while version 1.6 was already fast. Only personal advice like new releases for you and discover can take slightly more time. There are some cosmetic changes too, like for instance the settings menu looks slightly different. You can even change icons for zones, for instance a couch or fireplace instead of the streamer, which will be more family friendly. You know I love Rune, and I love it even more now. There are those that don't like the Rune interface and there are those that don't like paying for good software. And that's fine. There are also those that say that Rune sounds worse than their own system. That might be the case, but it's not what I hear when I compare it with the devices I review. Rune might be slightly more network intensive, but if you have your network set up properly, the load still is far below the network capacity. Although there are other systems that work and sound great, I find the user interface and especially the ease with which I can find music unsupparred. But that's just my opinion.
