About Roon with Tidal ??



You make an interesting point about Roon that I hadn't really thought of. For those of us who do have a vast music collection on disk I like Roon's metadata and how it allows me to manage my library, playlists, manage audio devices (local and end-points), DSP, manage playback locally or via iPad tablet, automated database backup, etc.

But now throw Tidal or other streaming services into the mix and what do you have? Is Roon just a sophisticated 'front-end' for managing music from the streaming service? And is it worth it?

I'm not completely clear on this as I don't have a Tidal subscription. Does Roon offer any 'value-add' for Tidal? If you don't run Roon with Tidal what does it look like? In other words how is it managed and is it clunky, comparable, or just passable?

P.S. I don't care about Classical. I know that many 'players' have issues with handling metadata for Classical but my Classical collection (if you can call it that) can be counted on one hand. Thx!
