Roon the last step:
After the hype about roon I wanted to test again whether roon might be suitable for me. Since I have stored about 4000 albums on the melco, and had recently cleaned all the file errors with SongKong (double albums, cover errors, etc.) I have to test a flawless basis. With a usb plate, with a copy (300 albums) of melco I start now. After a short time already the first disillusionment, metadata are wrong or partially present. For example, Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited" no data of the musicians etc. but only info to the producers, sound engineers. Roon seems to use "All Music" (formerly AMG, Last FM), why not from a reliable source such as "Discogs".
Sometimes the credits are extensive and complete, sometimes disappointingly little or even false genres. So, of the 300 albums are about 20% for post-processing! Roon should first take care of reliable and complete metadata. What use all the beautiful filter, if Roon albums for lack of relevant metadata wrong, or not recorded !! If you think you buy Roon and everything is good, it's wrong. I made my personal decision, stay with TIDAL, Qobuz stream via USB or UPnP, and everything is fine. Roon, nothing for me!
@Womaz, thanks for your detailed reports!
