Roon….The Gordon Knot of concierge musical services?
Not sure what my options are going forward. Had my Roon server on a windows desktop and bridged to both my I pad and my I phone. Everything worked OK for the most part but had to uninstall and reinstall every once in a while . I updated my desktop to a new unit with Windows 11 and after some wrangling got both my I phone and my I pad to work. Then, first the iPad lost the core and then the I phone lost it. I have read and tried everything I can find about permissions, firewalls, bridges etc.
So here are a number of questions:
Throw good money after bad and buy a NUCLEUS? I currently am using a LUMIN D_2 which I have been happy with. I was smart enough not to buy a lifetime membership to Roon so is there another music concierge service that links up to Apple products more reliably? Would the nucleus fix these problems or just create more “R.R.A.”? (Roon Related Animosity!)
OR…….Should I chuck the I pad and switch to Microsoft Surface tablet? That still wouldn’t fix my lack of connectivity to my I phone.
I have been running Tidal directly to my LUMIN which works but I really miss the concierge look and apps of Roon. Just have had it with them technically because they are doing more to ruin my musical experience rather then enhance it.
Lastly, would love to connect with any true budding Audiophiles in S.W. Michigan!
Particularly tech savvy ones.
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance here.
You are entitled to your own opinion for sure. I’d hardly say that @nonoise or anyone else who is not particularly interested in streaming music is “dull and one dimensional “. There are numerous avenues one can travel and enjoy music immensely. Streaming is but one viable option. Charles |
@charles1dad I did not say that. You are implying that, he said that he still listens to FM radio, so do I with all due respect. |
@charles1dad , Looks like All the best, |
Not really. I just quoted your comment above, “dull and one dimensional audiophile”. It’s what you wrote. How is one to infer that? Anyway as I said, this is your opinion and that’s fine. I am glad that you derive much enjoyment from audio streaming. You are not alone. Other music listeners are as fulfilled without it. There’s room for all.😊 Charles |
