Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] A nice review of the Roon software
I definitely don't miss physical media and much prefer my listening room without a cd lined wall. I find the biggest problem is just how large my collection has become over the years, so much so that I've forgotten what lies at the core of my musical tastes.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] A nice review of the Roon software
Flipping through albums on a shelf is a physical effort that I often miss (CDs not so much).Trying to emulate that on a phone will never work well. Doing so on a laptop or tablet comes closer with software that will display reasonable-sized album art that you can scroll through. I always liked that about LMS in fact. iPeng also does this reasonably well. Roon is even better with larger artwork and quick navigation. I recently picked up the large iPad Pro - very nice for this purpose. Maybe once the 3D glasses and headsets become better, our personal holodeck will allow a similar immersion. Still, something is lost in the process. On the other hand, I can remember many times when I just didn't have (or make) the time to mess with physical media... I believe I listened to a lot more FM radio back in those days.

How about a cheap USB vinyl player, and a RPi that analyzes the music to identify the track and album in order to play the digital version? :) I did start a project to interface an old electromechanical jukebox, but realized how limited the choice of music would be, unless I changed all the labels to software-controllable displays - and that would have turned it into a rather extensive project...

I have that pretty often - a feature I keep wishing for is a "playlist stack" where I can put the current playlist on hold, start a new temporary one, and then return back to the original one at some point.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] A nice review of the Roon software
The one thing I miss about the days of physical media is that my CDs used to be in a great big wall rack arranged alphabetically like books. I would wander up to it and let my eyes do a sort of "random walk", flitting around the CD spines until I happened upon an album that took my fancy. No digital organisation mechanism I've seen supports that kind of model, nor can I envisage any interface that would be capable of doing it. These days I tend to just scroll up and down the list of artists until I find someone I want to hear. Sometimes it's really difficult to make a decision. One other thing. Sometimes I'll be in the middle of listening to one album and another album pops into my head that I want to hear next. It may be related, but other times nothing at all to do with the current one. From then on, while I still want to hear the rest of the current album, there's a feeling of impatience because I'm looking forward to the next one. Anyone else like that, or am I just weird?
