ROON help needed

Roon has lyrics too. Really impressve interface and powerful control of the audio stream.

Roon interface and background album and artist content is a wonderful experience. I am done fiddling with multiple apps...

If both are on the same LAN then you should see the core. If it doesnt connect then try selecting a different core - perhaps the fresh install changed the core ID and your phone is looking for the older installation.

Your computer and your iphone must be on the same LAN. For example both on Wifi or your PC connected to the same router that provides yoir wifi....

It wont work if your iphone is only connected to your cellphone provider but your PC is connected to cable modem.

Both need to be on the same LAN - local area network

You should no longer need to ever run Tidal once Roon is setup. Roon just accesses Tidal using your Tidal credentials - everything should be selected and played from within Roon. If you like a Tidal album then just add it to your library from within Roon and it becomes part if your Roon library. Any music files on your harddrive will add automatically upload to your Roon library provided they are in the designated folder(s) you setup in Roon.

Roon does nothing to affect your harddrive music library - it does not move musuc around. However you can delete music files  if you wish - Roon will warn you if you try to delete albums or tracks because this is permanent. 

Upon initial launch, Roon offers you the option to import premade libraries of various genres into your library collection. You obviously clicked yes to preload your library up with many of their additional recommended album collections.

Roon is the best software out there for music listening. Unfortunately it requires some thought when setting up, I suggest a fresh install.

I like the way roon also automatically adds music when your playlist ends - all based on your library and the style of music in your playlist. The options for playback and the amount of configuration available is astounding. 

To get the most from Roon you need to set it up RoonServer "headless" on a PC that connects to internet for Tidal and accesses your music library (mine is around 3 TeraByte and sits on a USB drive connected to a mac mini). You should then use a tablet like an iPad to run Roon remote and access your collection and online library from Tidal as well as all the artist background and credit details as well as lyrics and even internet radio...
