Thanks for the quick reply and the useful information. I may give the free trail a try and see how well Roon handles my rather large music library. Basically what really intrigues my about Roon is the rich and robust metadata along with, as you so nicely put it, the leveraging of that metadata enhance one's listening experience, an area where Muso, though pretty good, still falls well short.
