that simply isn't true.

I've been a happy user of LMS for over ten years, but it offers nothing in the way of external links and metadata about the artists, recordings, concert halls, etc. found with Roon.

  Hmm. I am new to LMS but I just installed Daphile and it certainly looks like all it is really doing is LMS and plugins. On the phone and ipad the browser shortcut says LMS
  
  I have some plugins like Material Skin and the Music and Artist Info plugin where they DO show you info and links to more info. There is info on the artist, the album and track lyrics. It might not be extensive as Roon but its pretty extensive and all free. Here are some screen shots:

      Good to know. My collection is obscure and well I am not surprised All music is missing info about it, but it is a bit surprising with other genres. There is also a "song info" and "song lyrics" plugin that might have more.
