I've been an enthusiastic user of LMS for many years now, although I'm down to two players (a Touch & Transporter) down from a high of four in the house at peak. I'm a huge classical music lover, with just over 25,000 tracks in my FLAC library. Thanks to Erland's plug-ins and many hours of tagging, I'm fairly pleased with my ability to find music by composer, conductor, orchestra, soloist, etc. I played around with a friend's SooLoos system and thought it had nice search and metadata look-up capabilities for classical music. When Roon was introduced, I was excited until I saw the pricing. Understandable that all the programming requires a business model, but more than I wanted to pay. In particular I like the Tidal integration with Roon, although that's another subscription.
I hear that there's a new release imminent for Roon which will include Squeeze devices as end points for playback. I'll be extremely interested to see how this works, and may even buy a subscription for a year to provide feedback to the development team. I care little about DSD+ high rez formats, but I would like to reward an actively supported development program that's sensitive to the needs of classical music lovers. Here's hoping it all comes together! If not, LMS still works, and I could run another system in parallel if I had to. I'll look forward to any experiences others are able to relate regarding the Roon initiatives to include squeeze players! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HalleysComet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14590 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104044 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
