Roon WiiM Pro is now Roon Ready

[Brantome]

Some might take Roon's "fingers crossed" on their Roon Partner Update Facebook page as an optimistic sign of progress...

Relax.
There are definitely other manufactures that took as long / longer to get roon ready, and marketed it early too.
Only buy something based on current functionality, never expectations / promises.

I'm more than relaxed... After months I'm sleeping...
Also I totally agree with your second statement... It is exactly what Roon's team say...
WiiM is among these producers: promise (and advertised) features they can't face in the undisclosed timeframe.

I can think of another well known streamer manufacturer that stated they would support certain functionality "in a few months", telling people it was ok to buy other products that required this functionality, and then took many, many months to deliver on that feature.

Here I've a different experience.
I've gained pretty fast implementation in both endpoint I owned in the past...
Announced as an upcoming update and two weeks later I was streaming.

Hopes for July at this point... Finger crossed...

This is best advice. After being bitten my Microsoft many times in the past - i should know better.

Just opened the app and Roon Ready was one of the music sources.

I tapped on it and it disappeared. So I guess it's close.

I wouldn’t read too much into that tbh, that legend has probably been in the code awaiting enabling for some time…

Thanks mate. Fingers crossed.

WiiM Pro released Nov/Dec. 2002. Wiim states “ROON READY” being worked on. Feb.2, 2023 - ROON Ready
timeline by end of first quarter (3/31/23), end of 3rd quarter in 15 days. I was being sarcastic in reference to ROON Ready by end of of 2023 which would be anniversary of introduction.
