Roon redux

And I have just had the thought that pretty much every online forum ends up having meet ups IRL. Can you imagine a Roon forum bake off?

I’ve managed to rub along with digital whilst avoiding Roon so far and this latest news isn’t doing anything to dissuade me from this policy.

Similar here. Annoying thing is it’s good, and I would probably miss it, but not had a streamer with a decent alternative yet. If I tried Auralic or Lumin sure I would be reasonably happy.

See I can go back to LMS any time, since I still use a Transporter in my main system.

They’ve just issued a new release, I have it running in a Docker and it’s blisteringly fast.

Leaning toward binning Roon off, right now.

I prefer Innuos Sense but the only feature I like in Roon is the ability to create a png of what you are listening to.

I’ll be fucked if I’m paying Ā£12.50 per month to pay for an app that is buggy more often than working.

that’s pretty much where my head is at, this really does start to fall in to the category of ā€˜money for money’ put politely (know how easily offended many here are).

Just had a spam from Roon to try and get me to sign up again. $800 fucking dollars? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The yearly tariff looks good, I’m assuming that’s a typo and the useless twunts can’t even get a basic mailshot right.

$12.49*12 Annual got the largest price increase in % terms.

Lifetime before the price increase is $700

Not exactly clear being as it says $12.49 billed annually.

They can fuck off at $700 as well. In fact, they can just fuck off.

Yeah Ā£/$ doesn’t help them. And that they’re fucking bellends.

It’s the latter really. Happy to pay for stuff that’s good, but I object to paying to support a fucking cult.

I just use SqueezePlay which also works on v well

I feel left out. I used to have a subscription and they haven’t mailed me :frowning_face:

I can forward it to you if you like?

I’ll wait another 24 hours thank you.

The anticipation is exquisite.

I bought a lifetime membership years ago. Roon just works for me. I don’t recall the last time I had to reboot my NUC other than for updates. I guess I must be lucky.

You all are right about what a raving bunch of fucknuggets inhabit the Roon forum. I never go there.

I’ve been doing a 60 day trial of Roon, in part because the NuPrime software is a steaming pile of cack. Roon is definitely a lot better, but I’m really not convinced it’s $15 per month better.

The challenge is I’m not sure there’s anything all that great that fits my present circumstances. Tidal connect is flakey as fuck, and I don’t have a NAS or NUC at all.

Same here, I don’t have any problems with Roon. Still a big fan of LMS and their BBC Sounds app.
