Roon just gave me a 3 month trial for $2.... So, I've fiddled with again. This time in depth to see what all the fuss is about and to understand its capabilities. Almost everyone that uses Roon Likes it, except those that have used PiCorePlayer (which is me). -- Roon is for people that are Music Lovers and want to look at Metadata to find out the name of the Vocalists, Horn Players etc. -- Links to other Albums that creators of the current album have created etc. etc. --- That sort of Stuff. It has no interface to Tunein Radio (Which I use to find radio stations all over the World). I really dislike Roon's Separate Play Queue from Selecting Music. You have to go back and forth. Select the Music on one screen. Look at the Play queue on another Screen/ I really like the LMS Split Screen for Play Queue and Music Selection. Where Roon really falls on its face, is the inability to control the Music Player from a technical standpoint. I use PiCorePlayer in many rooms of my house and have them set up to start certain RadioStations, or Playlists on my Raspberry Pies... Roon cannpt do any such thing. With Hundreds of Settings and Many Pluggins you can configure PiCorePlayer to your Taste.. Roon will Play music that you select. That's All... And mostly that's what the masses want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cut-Throat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43167 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116444
