• 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: 11 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: about 1 year 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

• Camper Touchscreen Audio Setup

  Have a look at the Balena Sound project on Github here and other possible options would be Volumino or RuneAudio - they are not up to professional multi-room sound systems but may give you some of the functionality you want. Source: about 1 year ago

• Very unhappy with Roon. Need another solution.

  Perhaps try Volumio - they have their own products, but if you own a DAC and have a Raspberry Pi you can build your own. Controllable from their app too. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any music servers (like Navidrome) that can ALSO pull from Spotify?

  Volumio? Spotify support, playback of local files, and a web client. I stopped using in in the end because the queuing of the songs was buggy, but if you‘re an album-at-once type of person, this might be a good fit! Source: over 1 year ago

• Best option for wirelessly powering wired ceiling speakers?

  If you want to save some money and like tinkering, you can look at open source alternatives that run on hardware like RPI, here's an example of one - https://volumio.com/en/. Source: over 1 year ago

• MiniPC for music streaming with TEAC UD-505 DAC

  Take a look at Volumio for the Raspberry Pi: https://volumio.com/en/. Source: over 1 year ago
