What are other alternatives? Some mentioned JRiver. So I asked the question in another thread. I’ve now run into a wee problem with the new release of Roon, which disables one from playing own local files if the Internet is not working. I use mp3Tag to add metadata to my own local FLAC files.
I have the world of the internet at my fingertips otherwise. I am not particularly interested in the metadata retrieved from Roon, although it’s a nice to have, only that. Just needs the occasional touch to the Internet to ensure the licence is valid. Living in Australia has its problems with Internet connectivity from time to time so having Roon to control my local media system is great. I integrate Tidal with Roon to get the best experience at home with both streaming and local files. But I also like when I add music to Tidal, it automatically adds to Roon when I get home. I am very content with Tidal at doing this. I use Tidal to listen to music on the move. I use Roon to listen to music with my high-end system at home. I have a PS Audio DirectSteam DAC which renders very high quality FLAC files from my Synology NAS drive. I’ll just give a quick summary of my dilemma. In a nutshell, are there alternatives to Roon? I wrote the below thread in the Roon community to express my concerns. Roon works beautifully with PS Audio bridge in its DAC however, Roon 2.0 has rendered the system useless unless there is a continuous Internet connection.
