Who is Roon?


This is an organization that has developed software that consists of a Interface overlay to keep track of Music from streaming services. And create narratives about tons of albums. It’s amazing in all that it does. I have a lifetime membership.

They have a forum that provides assistance from others including all kinds of technical service which is really challenging to deal with should you have problems. They don’t offer phone service.

my question is is this some operation that operates out of someone’s basement? Do they employ thousands of people? Is it a nonprofit organization? Are they doing well financially? Is there a Mr. Roon?

Who are these people that have coordinated this service. Does anybody know anything about this organization?

@mapman   After years of admiration for James Bond I recently came to the  realization that Bond was the one who cheated Goldfinger in their golf game.

First offense... Goldfinger would never find his ball because Bond was standing on it. This forced Oddjob to drop a ball down his pants. Then Bond, cheating again, switched balls in the cup and declared that Goldfinger must forfiet the game. A blatant cheat!

Golf is a game of integrity and I'm disappointed that Bond had to cheat to beat him. Goldfinger was, in fact, the better player and made a hell of a putt on the last hole and deserved the win.

 

 

@gdaddy a problem with that is Bond caught Goldfinger cheating at cards prior.

It’s a common problem these days that people use the sins of others to justify their own sins. Not a happy path! But Bond has a license to kill in any case so he is clearly special. Cheers!

Roon is not open source / free, therefore it is superior. In high-end audio, the more expensive products are the better they sound, which is comforting - you get what you pay for - and Roon was happy to oblige. It became such a cash cow in the process that Harman, shrewd enough itself to sell out to a multinational giant, acquired it.

This is a false statement.  Plenty of open source software that is just performant and reliable as any proprietary software.

 

sorry I have nothing to add about Roon as I don’t use it.
