If and when I do give Roon test spin I will install it on the computer that has my music library on it. In fact, I have a full backup of my music library on a different computer from the one that currently runs LMS so I might try installing Roon on that computer to do the hands on testing.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Upsampling Impressions
I know this thread died out a long time ago but I think that there are still many of us who would like a deeper understanding of the upsampling options offered in piCorePlayer and I assume other linux-based players. My linux skills are close to zero. My hope is to help others get the most from the options at hand. If there is a better thread, forum or site to follow for this please let me know. I have found these two links that have some detailed information: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/vivid/man1/squeezelite.1.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/vivid/man1/sox.1.html Two specific questions, both related to John Swenson's recipe of "mI:::28" (post #5) 1) If I leave off the "28" what happens? What's the default? IIRC piCorePlayer uses 32 bit processing - If we specify the 28, does that actually reduce the processing from 32 to 28 bit? 2) If I want to use a filter option different from M(inimum), I(ntermediate) or L(inear), (lets say "17" on the scale from 0 to 100) do you leave out the M, I or L from the recipe and use "m:::28:::17" or mI:::28:::17" - Does the "17" supercede the "I" ?

It analyses the audio stream in every file to be able to recognise it even if renamed at a later point, calculate replaygain etc. for itself. That analysis will take some time in a library that large. The good news is you can still use it whilst all that's happening...it's just not as responsive as it is once the analysis is complete. My guess would be that if the analysis is done on a local machine housing the music it'd be a lot quicker than over a network (which is the case in my present setup).

Thanks for the very informative post. You answered many of my questions. And for the record, my music library has 42k albums and 550k tracks, mostly flac with almost 4K of the albums high resolution. I will give Roon a try in the near future.
