A little bit of knowledge in my case might be dangerous, but my impression is that while the music tracks themselves remain at the streaming service (and are streamed on demand), when you add tracks/albums to your library, Roon downloads meta-data into its own local database on your machine. At least, at times when my connection to Tidal is down, my genre searches and Roon suggestions return items added to my library that will not play due to the missing connection.

With that said, some services do permit members to download and store tracks locally for use on portable devices; this generally requires more effort than just "add to my library".

Cerebrate!
