Gallery

If you're a music fan like us, you remember the joy you felt not just listening to the music you added to your collection, but also the joy of reading the liner notes, seeing who wrote your favorite cuts and who played guitar on them, and exploring your collection for under-appreciated albums you bought years ago and forgot about.

Roon's extended metadata already shows you the credits for your albums and helps you locate those long-forgotten cuts, but version 1.3 adds new functionality -- a gallery view for the front cover, back cover, and liner notes of your albums.

If you are using our deprecated 1.2 iTunes integration, additional images and PDF viewing is not available. You will need to migrate to our new iTunes integration to take advantage of the Gallery feature. More information here.

PDFs and Images

Roon will locate PDFs and images stored with your audio files, and their respective icons are displayed on album details with numbers indicating how many PDFs and images were found.

Click the image or PDF icon to pull the album off the shelf -- Images will be displayed in a gallery view, and PDFs get launched in an external viewer.
