What does Roon give me beyond just Tidal HiFi?

Snarky post for sure. 

Rossb - I tried Roon once and experienced exactly what you are talking about. Just wondering if anything has changed

How are you playing your ripped cd collection? Roon would provide very good integration for it. Besides Roon, there are other options to integrate Tidal along with local files, such as Audirvana and Plex.

If you're using the Tidal app, Roon would probably have little benefit for you. I use Tidal and Qobuz on a Raspberry Pi streamer, and Roon has been a game changer for me with a vastly better user interface.

Mainly Room gives me precious time. It's not perfect but it's like my accountant. It worries about things like bit-perfect and device integration so I don't have to. DSP functionality can be useful too.

I play mine by folder/artist/album. Orange genre.
I do the organization since it’s my collection.
I found Jane & Linda on my own.
Device integration???
