• Help Setting up SoundWireServer on a Pi! All steps seem to work fine, then at the last step I get "No such file or directory", even though it's there! This is driving me crazy.

  Good point, but I did get the RPi version, straight from https://georgielabs.net/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Stream my PC audio through my notebook speakers

  I see a lot of software that can stream a desktop audio through a phone, like Soundwire or Audiorelay, but I'm looking for something to use my notebook speakers instead and I can't seem to find one. Source: over 1 year ago

• Are there better options for broadcasting my desktops audio?

  Still only does the audio, but soundwire works over your network so will work as far as wifi: https://georgielabs.net/ used it for months and other than the interrupting voice saying "free version" it was pretty stable and consistent. You can also tweak app settings to either reduce the latency or increase robustness to network jitter. Source: over 1 year 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: 12 months ago

• Better sound than AppleTV 4K driving KEF LS50Ws?

  You might want to give roon or audirvana a try. Source: about 1 year 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 / over 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
