Am I the only one on here who just uses the Control app to stick an album on and then just listen to it?
When I am listening to music I dont really do anything else, like reading about the artist or album......I just want to listen to it.

$500 is a LOT for normal ppl ... not sooo much for devialet owners tho... and there are many many alternatives a lot cheaper than $500 .. like Jriver at $49
Roon suits me , what with 9000 albums ripped and tidal .. LMS (logitech media server) with tidal integration..which cost me nothing .. was fine as well had roon not existed

There are indeed cheaper ones, and if anyone thinks its to much then don't buy it use the other. It does however seem strange that there are people (not pointed at you) who will spend upwards of £20,000 on a replay system then moan about $500 to play and organise their files through it.

Hello NickB,
I see in your signature, you have NUC i7 which is really cool for Roon. However you have 1TB SSD. There is enough space on your SSD to put your regularly played tracks and enough space left for ROON to occupy for whatever cools stuff it does.
Seems like a good option for me. I dont have whole lot of track and for now 1TB SSD is more than sufficient and I can get rid of NAS. Future SSD is about to bloat matching current NAS capacity.
Are you not using NAS? (Did not see NAS in the signature)

I can understand folk balking at roons price .. most just see it as another user interface
What puzzles me BIG time is the moaning re Tidals price .. $20 (in our case in south africa is only $10) for almost unlimited music in redbook format and maybe MQA as well..
