Any more news on the Roon to Squeezebox front? I'm a long-time
Squeezebox user and haven't found anything yet worthy of replacing it.
But I must admit that Roon sounds like an amazingly well-designed
front-end for music.
While the pricetag is a formidable obstacle, I would absolutely give
Yes, Roon will be interesting to at least testdrive, once they have an
iPad app, provide an image to use Rasperrys as endpoints - and ideally a
dedicated Linux image for the server application. Until then, though,

OK poing, i understand your point but did you tested Roon ?

Also keeping an eye on this. But $119 per year is pretty steep for
software, I don't see me ditching LMS for that even if they can support

less .
If you don't sell any physical devices , the remaining sources of $ are
the radio stations and services themselfs or the end user .
mysb.com that we all use was included in our hardware purchases , but we
paid much
