What exactly is ROON?

With Roon it is simple to shuffle an album playlist, or to click play on an artist's page to start a random play of that artist's songs.

There is also the Roon Radio function to start playing similar songs when any playlist ends.

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.

If I remember correctly in ROON. You can play and artist track and then it will continue to play "like" tracks. I think most of the interfaces have a "artist radio" functionality that achieves this?  Also very easy to kick off Genre radio. Just took me 2 clicks to fire up Jazz genre stream.

But can you go to your own music, select a Genre, and then play Random by either Album or Artist?
