Roon (Music Player) Reviews

The 7 Best Windows Music Players for Hi-Res Audio
While most examples of hi-res music player software focus on sound quality alone, Roon focuses on something else. The developers say that something has been lost in the transition to digital music. To bring back the feeling of engagement you’d get from poring over liner notes, Roon aims to present a searchable “magazine” of your music.

MOC mentions (8)

  • Any music player that uses the terminal and can show lyrics
    Music On Console has lyrics plugin, but I've never tried it. Source: 11 months ago
  • headless music player project?
    I really quite like MOC's terminal UI for playing music files, and I don't see why it shouldn't work with a network drive too (so long as the network drive is mounted in a "normal" way). Source: over 1 year ago
  • headless music player project?
    I have a pi connected to a hard drive and a pair of speakers (via 3.5mm). I then use MOC to play music via ssh (and I use juiceSSH on my phone if I want to control it from there). Source: over 1 year ago
  • Music / Radio / Podcasts
    I use moc (music on command line) for music: Http://moc.daper.net/ And mpv for internet radio streams. Source: about 2 years ago
  • WM: Fn Volume Keys are not working
    To control playback of media players that support MPRIS you can use playerctl. For those that don't you'll have to check the documentation to find out whether or not they can be controlled via the commandline (and hence the keyboard) and what the commands are (e. g. Mocp [OPTIONS] in the case of MOC). Source: over 2 years ago

  • What do you guys use to play music on the go?
    I also use Roon, which is a little complicated to describe here. Basically I have my own home server with music on, and then I can use the Roon ARC app to access it on the go, similar to above (and is similar to PlexAmp mentioned elsewhere here). Source: 10 months ago
  • Better sound than AppleTV 4K driving KEF LS50Ws?
    You might want to give roon or audirvana a try. Source: 11 months ago
  • Just bought a house with multi room speakers. Help?
    You may also want to look into Room depending how far down the rabbit hole you want to go https://roonlabs.com/. Source: 12 months ago
  • Poor schemas, poor cataloguing: why music tagging sucks
    Roon handles metadata and relationships between entities the least bad of anything I’ve tried. It’ll do things like link covers and live performances of the same song together, or let you group multiple issues of the same album and switch between them. It’s not cheap, and it takes some effort to fix some bad source data, but I’ve found it very rewarding and get a ton of enjoyment exploring my library now.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • iOS 16.3 Code Reveals Apple Continues to Work on Classical Music App
    Take a look at Roon. It's pricing and mobile limitations are disqualifications for me, but it's tagging is simply phenomenal. Source: over 1 year ago
