I am with volumio now and now myvolumio since some time now and really excited about the continuous improvement. I think it is a very solid, cost-effective and good sounding foundation for any audio system.
On my wishlist would be a next generation UI. In my opinion, the next generation of music player UI should include more info and background information about albums and artist playing. Curate music will be the next big thing. Especially with streaming services where you have an endless choice of music. Qobuz does already a good job with the recommended playlists and some background information on artists/album - although often only in French. Roon goes one step further their new radio function and the offer the possibility to open the PDF which often comes with the downloaded albums.
Thus my wishlist would be:
Include background info on artists and albums in cooperation with a data provider: Without having checked them, there seem to be some APIs around.
KI algorithm with suggestions for similar music, album. A bit like roons radio function
possibility to open the PDF which often comes with the downloaded albums.
Hello
Thank you for your tireless work on Volumio. The evolution continues and Volumio has made tremendous progress since I know it. This is fantastic!
A package with Qobuz is of course fantastic for people who do not have Qobuz yet. The separate Qobuz integration must still exist.
Options are not a priority for me, I think the savings will not be very big. If you think what an espresso costs …
Of course, the multiroom function is also a very good thing. But it should be possible to switch off the function and protect the settings with a password. Think of family with children .
Offers such as buying and forgetting is only useful to me as a complete package with all functions. Generally, I think if there are too many different offers, it gets confusing and it scares people off.

TIDAL
I would like the Volumio version of TIDAL to more closely resemble what I see when running the TIDAL provided desktop app. I like being able to see most popular songs by artist, MQA symbol on applicable albums, and access to Playlists and other missing content under the Volumio system.
SAMPLE rate BIT rate -Can this information be more prominently displayed in all screens? So many of us want to be sure we are getting it at max quality!
RADIO STATIONS
Can the FLAC and HD stations be grouped together? It would make it easier to pick HD channels-I dont listen to low quality bit rate streams-I and others would try more new types of music IF we could easily assure max quality. There are too many options now! Radio Paradise is closest to this concept as you can pick rates and choose quality of stream on their web site.
Sound settings
Most of us are not techies-can the system be set up to more easily set our own systems for max quality. I dont know have the stuff mentioned under playback options. How about good-better-best-and then based on on DAC-ISP speed , and server we can be assured maximum possible quality.
Well said, in fact I’d like the whole Volumio UI experience to be more like Tidal… the Tidal Ui being easy to use, informative and “Obvious” - I beleive good things are to come
+1 for this.
Using Tidal is great - but I always search for the music in the app first and after this I go over to volumio. Not really practical.
And please ad al the additional information (Credits) which is included via Tidal.
Thanks.

Hi I think that Volumio is getting better and better! Congratulation for all your work.
For the future I wish we could have more information in the Qobuz section, all the playlists with the text
A better volume section
An audiophile equalizer (convolution or 1/3 octava or maybe an integration of vst plugin so we can add the fabfilter eq)
I totally agree with previous comments regarding improvement of volumio integration with Tidal. At present I need to be going back and forth from - to Tidal app in order to save artists, playlists …
Please consider to offer a new MyVolumio subscription that includes new features but excludes the bundled streaming services. I would like to support development and use new features but already pay for Spotify so I don’t need need more services.
I really like Volumio because it’s easy to grab a raspberry pi and have a great streaming device set up in any room of the house. I know the target audience is Audiophiles but in my garage it’s just an old car stereo hooked up to some 6x9 speakers and a cheap $2 USB audio adapter, powered by an old PC power supply. I think many users will have similar setups along with their exponentially more expensive systems. For these setups the convenience features matter more than anything else.
As always I appreciate all the hard work of the talented developers. Keep up the great work.
Perhaps you could stimulate more input by providing us with your own roadmap for the future. For example, I’m sure everyone is looking forward to the release of the new user interface. Is there a date for release?
First of all a big thank you for developing Volumio.
To me there are three wishes:
-TIDAL functionality like their own app
-more Rip-functionality esp. precise tags and filenames
-to show tag-embedded lyrics
Thanks for your support!
Hello
Of course, I’m still ultra satisfied with Volumio.
When I hear music with Qobuz (I almost only hear with Qobuz …), the queuelist does not show the playing time of each track.
Is it possible that the playing time of the tracks are also displayed?
Thank you for developing Volumio and supporting the community!
I know this has been said a few times already, but I would definitely appreciate closer functionality to the Tidal app. This was the main reason I paid for a subscription.
Features like “My Mixes” and “My Favourites” and only available through the Tidal app and I use them all the time. I have found myself having to fall back to using BubbleUPNP recently on my phone as this app looks basic but has all the Tidal functionality and sends it to my Volumio device.
I’d like to throw my hat in for the improved Tidal implementation, especially “My Mixes.” I just got an Allo USBridge, and the Tidal implementation is pretty good (definitely a big step up from my Chromecast Audio), but like the previous poster, I find I’m really missing things. The “My Mixes” is probably the biggest. I don’t use it all the time, but when I’m craving a mix, that’s the first place I go. Thanks!
I would like to suggest some changes to the mobile app for phones, and small devices. The album cover art is obscured by the playback status, it looks great on iPads and other tablets though. Thanks
I’m a Qobuz Studio user and the sound quality is spectacular with MyVolumio. Please do keep the upgrades coming for Qobuz integration.
In particular, it would be a big step if we could add tracks to a Qobuz playlist from within Volumio. With this, I’ll be closer to not having to use the Qobuz app in my sessions.
The other nice add would be providing the Qobuz artist information.
