There are also recommendations for other artists and such. So when I am listening to an artist, I can go check out his bio, which is typically heavily hyperlinked to other artists groups etc. Roon also uses user preferences to develop a huge database of relations between various artists, albums, and tracks. As roon imports your music, it is pulling in lots of metadata, artwork, reviews, artist bios etc. I was surprised that an expensive program didn't have a more extensive and customizable set of views.īut in my opinion what sets Roon apart from everything else out there is music discovery. Likewise, the first thing that people see when they first try roon is the remote interface. People get hung up on the bit squirting aspect of roon, and I'd argue that is only 10% of the value of the program at most. So for people who always know what they want to play, and don't want to have a slick tool to explore music that is similar to what they like, there's a ton of good solutions out that that don't lighten your wallet.

And as was stated above, there are a ton of free choices out there if you know exactly what you want to play and just need the mechanics of squirting the bits to your device. While Roon does stream music to your devices, that's not what makes it so interesting. I also did a stint with slimserver (LMS before logitech). I have been using iTunes as my streaming server for about 17 years. Here's my perspective as a fairly new Roon user. Off Topic Alarm: The entire DRC subject is a totally different story. (Neither Roon nor Acourate can't win me over on that DRC subject ) OK.Ok. The better your system and room the more obvious the DRC associated issues get. I never went for DRC because the filter associated losses I considered worse then the issues supposedly solved by DRC. (I btw never purchased Acourate - I used filters generated with these toolstools.) And - not to forget - you also need a high quality recording setup. Afaik none of the playback/server tools offers that feature! Usually you'd need Acourate DRC - quite costly - to generate highest quality filters. The most challenging part with DRC IMO is and has always been the correction filter generation. This would prevent to apply SRC on top of DRC.
By using a wrapper script you could even run different filters for different samplerates.

Otherwise if you know how to handle and setup brutefir, it'll be a no-brainer to add brutefir as a DSP rule to the nf. You might get to a point where you'd need a special feature/function. If Roon offers such a feature and you're willing to spend $500 for it. I cannot use track slider in my spotty application on max2play LMS on a raspi) makes me more and more to thiink about changing to roon.

That and the easy implementation of a streaming service with full function support (e.g. Is there an easier way doing this in LMS? Tried to replace some files as described in this instruction on my max2play LMS but could not succeed - a pitty that after all this years of LMS there is no working and easy to use DRC plugin. Today I cannot see how to implement it easily on server side (I know the description with virtual linux machine - but frankly, its a mess and for me very easy to understand why people who are looking for easy implementation do not want to go this way). Server side convolution was not too difficult to apply with inguz on an older LMS version. I do room correction and would like to use a server side convolution with music streaming service included. Anyway there are some things other SW can do better or lets say easier.
