I’ve heard fantastic things about Roon for a while now, so thought I would give it a try. I’m coming to the end of my trial and have to say I can’t understand the love.
Yes, I agree that Roon has a lovely interface and a wealth of information about each artist, I also liked the Qobuz integration which seemed to offer better discoverability compared to even Qobuz’s own apps.
Over time, I’m listening less and less to my own physical library of music – and increasingly listening to the artists/album I own through Spotify/Qobuz instead. Therefore, I also question how much ‘value-add’ Roon offers in this kind of environment. Ideally, it would be great to use Roon without a need to keep a PC/laptop running, but that’s not possible right now.
I’m struggling to justify the ticket price. It’s a glorified wrapper from what I can see. Personally, I’m unlikely to continue my subscription, as LMS/Qobuz has been working fine for me. So, for those that subscribe to Roon, why do you value the service so highly?
A few caveats, I only have a small ripped music collection, and mainly used Roon with Qobuz. I only used this in a single room environment. Maybe, if I had a larger ripped collection or multiroom audio, my opinion would be different.
