Interesting that's your initial impression. Roon is doing quite a bit!
Maybe it feels different if you are more focussed on your own collection. For a lot of people with massive disorganised collections Roon is sorting all that out as well as the bit perfect endpoint handling/dsp/volume levelling/radio functions.

Roon is doing quite a bit!
Yeah, I take your point. I guess it's because I'm coming from a set up with J River MC which I have got pretty well sorted and has many of the features which Roon has.
So for me, the big change is being able to browse and listen to the Tidal catalogue and have it integrated into my own library.

JRiver is a one off cost of $60, and if you want to upgrade to future releases you get something like a 50% discount. I've been using it for over 10 years and I'd guess it's cost me less than a year of Roon, which is why I think Roon doesn't seem like great value.
I doubt that'll stop me though.

Roon plus Tidal is really very good.
However I can't help thinking that Tidal is bringing a lot more to the party than Roon, and Roon is seems really expensive for what it is. But then, it's really good...
