Kicking myself for not buying it a few years back. How does the Lumin app compare?
LMS smugness here! That it runs on a NAS (or a pi) is another great benefit. Tbh I never got close to buying Roon as LMS is great.
Ho-hum, starting to find a few annoyances that were probably there before but Iâd forgotten about.
Online Qobuz library: just lobs singles and EPs in with the albums. Doesnât show year of release if Iâm browsing the Qobuz library either. Sigh.
Iâll stick with Roon, had/have a few issues but the convenience outweighs the monthly fee. I wonât buy the lifetime deal just because something better will probably come along, or not.
Youâre permitted to think that LMS is an alternative, just donât say it
What racist, sexist or torrent of swearing incurred a post to be hidden?
The moderation on that forum is fucked sideways. They let all the regulars downvote posts against the true faith in to oblivion and do nothing.
Iâve not used the Lumin App for years so I canât really answer that. I bought Roon not long after I bought the D1, maybe 4 or 5 years ago now.

@coco âs description above of it being a cult certainly encapsulates that type of behaviour.
Iâve used Lumin, Innuos, Roon and Auralic and of the four my preference is for Innuos.
LMS â with material skin and the spotify, bandcamp, streaming and BBC sounds plugins itâs hard to beat
Roon â Great interface and the ârabbit holeâ feature is nice but expensive and support is shite
Lumin â App is ok but cluttered and I donât like the layout of the interface
Innuos â Sense runs as a standalone app or web browser and the interface is really easy to use and search
Auralic â see Lumin app

PS Iâm a bit of an Innuos fanboi but it is actually running LMS with their own OS to manage the artist info and interface etc. You can access the LMS and enable additional plugins and even use the LMS player instead of the sense app or web interface
Iâve zoomed in to show all the search bumpf
Artist info
Looks decent but itâs locked to their hardware, right?
Oh yes and itâs not cheap.
Donât like that they are a bit fooây and the phoenix reclocker and switch is a load of bollocks.
Unrelated to my question.
Sorry. I guess I misread it. I thought it was saying it would control any UPnP device.
Can see why they decided to tag users with their subscription.
You raise a problem on the forum and Roon support look at your status, youâre a âliferâ so they put you to the bottom of the priority list and deal with the issues for âsubscriptionâ or âtrialâ users first.
After all itâs not as if a lifetime subscriber can cancel their subscription in protest.
All that money, to get the worst service. 
Another good reason to get banned and create an anonymous posting account.
Oh thatâs not me, Iâve given up posting now as Iâve been banned under numerous usernames and canât be arsed creating them anymore.
Wow didnât realise that the new version of Roon wonât work without an active internet connection.
No internet connection and it wonât even let you listen to your local music on a hard drive or NAS.
