Roon alternative?

Curious what people are using instead of Roon. I don't really understand how a service that costs more than the streaming services only supports tidal and Qobuz.

In 2024, it seems absurd to not support Apple Music, YouTube music, Amazon music, etc.

I want to use Idagio, because the classical music UI is kind of terrible on Roon. It will be a pain for me to get out of the ecosystem though. Anything comparable that supports more than two streaming services? Even Sonos, which is FREE, supports literally everything.

JRiver can be used, in the sense that you can use JRiver as output of your streaming app of choice with it's soundcard driver. It's not integrated. But most players don't integrate as it's hard to mainain. Each update of a streaming service can brake the program if you fully integrate it. Roon and Sonos got the finances and staff to keep up, but most don't. They do it like JRiver, offering a sound driver that routes the audio trough their processing as the WDM, ASIO or WASAPI protocol don't change or only backwards compatible.
