Roon. If you have local and also tidal or qobuz libraries, it's amazing

Welcome to ASR!

It depends what I'm playing:

- Roon for local files and Qobuz streaming.
- The Amazon Music and IDAGIO Mac native apps for streaming from those services.
- Safari for streaming from Primephonic which doesn't have a native Mac app.

Hopefully Roon can support more streaming services in the future so that I can use it more.

I also have a licence for JRiver Media Center but have stopped using that since I started using Roon.

At the moment, I have Roon (Win, Linux), JRiver (Win) and Volumio (Linux).

Yup, plus one on that about roon. But I don't believe Spotify or amazon will get onboard. Maybe smaller /more specialist services.

Windows 10 Desktop: MusicBee, Emby Server, and Emby Web. For streaming services, I use a Web browser.

To stream audio from my desktop to my 2x Chromecast for a pseudo-surround sound field, I use the following:

I've two systems in the same room, by the way. One for AV that's attached to the television, and the other for desktop usage.

3x Android devices: MusicBee Remote, Poweramp, Emby Android, Soundcloud, Mixcloud, and BandCamp.

It's kind of absurd how Roon charges money and only offers a couple of streaming services. Sonos has basically any streaming service ever, so you know the APIs are there.

What's the point of things being Roon ready when it can't support most services?
