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?

Thank you for the confirmation. 

After setting up the Bluesound Node (setup was a breeze), it seemed I already had all of the features that Roon offers....without a monthly fee.  I'm good.

You're correct.  I'm just getting started with this streaming thing, and I needed a simple slam-dunk application.  I'm not much of a guy for burning cd's and putting them on a hard drive just yet...we'll see how that comes along...but it's nice to have the capability anyway.  I only bought the hard drive because it was only $200 for 8 terabytes, I can't imagine ever using that much storage.  Mostly I listen to Tidal, Amazon and Napster on Bluesound...I listen on Pandora on my Sonos.  I'll only make copies on the hard drive if a recording on Tidal doesn't measure up to what I know what my cd sounds like.  Maybe in a couple of years I'll come back and take a look at Roon.
