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 write this as someone who tried Roon for two months and didn't stick with it.  Roon is more about music management and info concerning bands, artists and the like. Like the drummer on a particular track and want to find what other work he's done with other artists? Roon can help. Like a particular band and want to explore similar artists that you're not familiar with? Roon can help.  Want to play an album and then continue with unselected backgrouind music for the rest of the afternoon? Roon can do this.  There are other features along these lines including photos, artist bios, and the like.

I enjoyed these features but ultimately, for how I listen to music, didn't find it worth the price.  I am perfectly happy to explore new music in the fashion that Qobuz offers it, but I know others who really value and enjoy Roon's features in the areas noted above.
