This is one of the nice things about Roon (that I've trialed). The UI on an album or song has a tremendous amount of info at your fingertips. I see the atist, composer, etc. It shows me other albums the artist or composer appears on, other artists that have done the same song, etc. Too much to list. And all accessible by clicks. I learn cool stuff. For example, I'm playing the first YES album from 1969, and then it is showing me that the track "I see You" was composed by Crosby and McGuinn and also appears in my library on the Byrds Box set from 1998 (and if I click on this, it takes me to play that track on the Byrds album). None of this is critical to my listening, but the showing of all the various connections in my library is kinda cool. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.9 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.9 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Transporter, Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win8(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106933 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
