Damn. I was trying to avoid plagiarizing Alexa and didn't see the
obvious. I don't know how Shazam reacts to the harmonica or to beat
boxing, though.
I'm sure we could have a plugin for that.

I definitely don't miss physical media and much prefer my listening room

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",

Have to concur with Audiomuze and Audiotic... bought the Roon lifetime
and love it, both for what it is today, and what it is rapidly evolving
into. The fact that I can use Roon with my multiple Squeezeboxes is
pretty amazing and was enough for me to jump on the Roon bandwagon back
in December.

Roon do not handle classical music as well as LMS with custom
browse/scan plugins. They also acknowledge this weakness. Unless they
improve on this aspect, I will stick with LMS.
