Shazam dont. Amazon tell you what it is, at least, and you can store

Yes, in LMS it's not a problem at all. I use RG on PCM and not on DTS or

They made room for sonos.. that's all that exists really. Sad, but true.
It's more slick, less featured, and more expensive. Roon i dont know

My guess, in ten years time.
I suspect those that care about quality (an ever dwindling audience)

Interesting discussion about Roon. I've thought about getting that at
times for the simple reason of the expanded database and info. It would
be interesting to know more about the recording and artists, but I'm
so-so about the trivia aspect of music info, as in the drummer on this
album played on
My limited experience with room correction is comprised of the Audessy
DSP in my Marantz HTR. it came with a microphone and a cardboard stand
which a set up in the primary listening position and ran the set up.
Based on how much better the surround sound sounds compared with the
older Marantz that

I can't agree more about keeping relying on Amazon, iTunes or Spotify as

outright, only to see it disappear when the studio and Amazon have a

My two cents: binaural recording or similar techniques for audio and
video. Not room correction, but "bubbles of sound" or similar immersive
systems.

Room correction and DSP along with "one box" powered speakers will
