What exactly is ROON?

@mahler123 

Thanks.  Music servers that have Audirvāna pre-installed or are compatible include:

• Antipodes Audio Music Servers (e.g., K22 and K40) with some limitations for setup.

• 3D Lab Music Servers.

• Fidelizer Audio Servers, which are fully tested and integrated with Audirvāna.

• Infigo Audio IS-1 Streamer, which includes Audirvāna software.

Additionally, Audirvāna supports UPnP-compatible devices, making it usable with a wide range of streamers and speakers like KEF Wireless HiFi systems and others certified under the “Plays with Audirvāna” program.  

As noted above, my Infigo Audio IS-1 Streamer already has the Audiovana LINUX version installed.  I use my Apple iPad with the Audiovana Remote to control it.  I stream from QoBuz and everything works perfectly.   There may additional music servers that have Audiovana installed but I am not aware of them. 

Can either ROON or Audirvana do something like Genre random play by Album or Artist?

BTW- I thought this thread, "What exactly is ROON" was about Roon. There seems to be some confusion.

Few months back on another thread I posed the question about some unique features that ROON had that I had not seen on other products such as Audirvana, native Qobuz app and streamer software I have used.  I basically ask what other products out there have these features. The response?  Crickets.
