• 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

  MusicBee. Granular customizations galore. Free. Source: 12 months ago

• Portable Player With Easy To Use PC Software For Syncing & Playlists?

  I use the Musicolet software on the player itself (it's in the Google Play store, and there are APKs available on APKPure), and on the PC, I use the MusicBee software to organize music and create/edit playlists. Source: about 1 year ago

• What would be the best lossless codec for long term storage/archival of CD rips?

  Seriously though, it's time to explore! Foobar2000 and MusicBee are both freeware alternatives to WMP that are well-known in the audiophile community. Source: about 1 year ago

• Music naming with Musicbrainz Picard?

  If you're using Windows, [MusicBee](https://getmusicbee.com) has an "Organize" command that will move files into folder locations [based on their metadata and user-defined templates](https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/File_Organization). Source: about 1 year ago
