Who is Roon?

I was an early adopter but I wish it had more features. Their support reminds me of chat rooms when I was in college in the early 90's. Roon radio always seems to end up playing the same songs over and over. 

I don't know of anything better so I still use it but I could never say I love it. I will admit that maybe it's user error. For example, lets say I want to look for Christmas playlists. In other format I would get thousand of playlist based on rating etc. Roon doesn't give you much. 

Not a serious knock, but get outta moms basement it's 2025.

It can't handle all libraries though you won't see mention of that in their glossy adverts. When it can't handle your library they just blame the library and won't refund your $$$

It's yet another way to screw musicians...and. of course, lots of alleged music lovers are co-conspirators. 

Why would you assume that an expatriate oligarch, or any oligarch for that matter, has any national loyalties at all? Perhaps if money and power were a country.

@tony1954 you got a point there!  I guess we're not so lucky after all.

It’s yet another way to screw musicians

Actually it helps lesser knowns get discovered by linking to them from better knowns so that is at least something positive for most musicians.

Also Roon provides no music itself. It just integrates external streaming sources into a richer experience for the consumer. Qobuz and Tidal pay teh artists is a different yet related story.

Also if you find something you like in Qobuz via discovery in Roon, you can buy teh files from Qobuz.   Of course there is no pretty record or CD to look at when you buy it, you just own teh music now in case you fear losing access to something precious to you via streaming somewhere down the road.
