• So. . .given lack of Roon support and recent acquisition by Harman. . .any realistic alternatives?

  Https://jriver.com/ It does a lot of what Roon does. It also includes local videos and youtube. Source: 5 months ago

• What is the best mp3 player that also displays the album art while the file is playing?

  It's not free, but I'm a big fan of JRiver Media Center and have been using it for many years. It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Your license will last forever, but you do need to pay for major version upgrades (once-per-year). I'm an audiophile with a substantial library and I'm personally happy to support efforts like this, but I get that paying isn't for everyone. Source: 12 months ago

• Newbie question about volume control in my streaming setup

  I use JRiver Server with my WiiM Pro and it works flawlessly. Source: about 1 year ago

• Why can’t they abstract?

  I suspect another commercial product, JRiver Media Center, might be more flexible than Mezzmo (less arbitrary about what you can and can't do), but it sounds like the Android and Android TV client is probably a mess. I've never done a setup with it. Source: about 1 year ago

• program for ripping CDs with correct metadata

  Many media players support ripping 1 disc at a time at least. Even Windows Media player can rip to wave and FLAC. Foobar2000 is a good option here. I personally have my library in JRiver, which isn't free, but I've been happily using it for many years. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Flac/MP3 listeners: How do you store/play your music?

  Honestly? I use https://beets.io/ to organise all my FLAC on my NAS. I expose the /Music directory over NFC. I use https://kodi.tv/ to stream music to my amp. I manually pick the album I want to listen to. Kodi also has a fairly reasonable web UI. Keep it simple. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• You Will Own Nothing

  Do yourself a favor, get a shitty PC or raspberry pi, plug it into your TV, and install Kodi on it. Source: 11 months ago

• Question on Virtual PCs

  Kodi sounds like what you're describing. You connect it to a tv and it can play media from your network, or use add-ons for internet streaming. I'm not sure if it includes the most popular streaming services, but I suppose you could use a browser for those. Source: 11 months ago

• Hardware acceleration on old laptop CPU?

  For example, the Jellyfin AndroidTV app won’t direct play a lot of my media so it has to transcode. So I now use the Jellyfin for Kodi Addon on Kodi and I’ve never had to transcode. Source: 11 months ago
