What's All The Fuss And Big Deal About Roon About Roon Being A Must-Have??

I Have a Bluesound Node jacked into my dac and I'm pretty thrilled about it.

I'm happy streaming Tidal, Amazon, Napster and a ton of internet radio stations through my Bluesound Node.  I use a Sonos to stream Pandora.

I've even bought an 8 terabyte hard drive and connected it to my Bluesound and started to sample a few cd's that I've burned to it and I must say that I'm pleased.  It's all been pretty straightforward and painless.

I live in a one-room place, so I don't need a multiple room feature.  This is for a strictly a 2-channel rig.

It seems that I'm digitally squared away for music.

What can and will Roon add to this setup?

I for one have never called Roon a "must have." I agree that it's more about music management and for me, with ~ 500 CD's ( I don't remember, don't count them) plus Tidal plus favorite Internet radio stations I find the metadata management and integration with Tidal just outstanding.

Yes, I can listen to all of my Peter Gabriel tracks, but I can also bring in music I don't own, or I can start listening to 1 artist and end up discovering lots more.

I also really like the DSP capabilities, and multi-room synchronization.

That's what I think it brings and makes a subscription worthwhile for me, but would I try to upsell it as THE feature you must have?  Nah.
