![]() It’s not in their business model to play well with others. It takes two to tango, so I’m not sure Amazon, Apple, and Spotify will play along. Since only crazy audiophiles have large personal libraries, Roon’s future lies in its ability to integrate with music services from all major players.

"We can hear everything we measure, but we can't measure everything we hear. ![]() The future of Roon, in my opinion, relies on one of the big guys buying them out and using their database management capabilities. That leads me to the conclusion that once Apple Music and Spotify start offering CD-quality music, both Tidal and Qobuz will see a drop of subscribers, and many Roon users will stop using Roon. Qobuz subscribers may want to have access “hi-def” offerings.īut what if folks are happy with just CD-quality offerings? Then… they will likely switch to a cheaper streaming service. ![]() would Roon users still subscribe to Tidal or Qobuz? Maybe some folks have invested in MQA-capable equipment and feel bound to Tidal. Roon does NOT work with Apple Music or Spotify. Their rates are lower than those of Qobuz and Tidal. I suspect that Spotify will be forced to keep their monthly rates as well. Just in case you were not aware, Apple and Spotify recently announced that they will start providing CD quality music. Nothing, I mean nothing, out there can touch it.īut if your library is external (from music streaming services), recent announcements by Apple and Spotify will affect Roon’s future. If you have a library that includes local files, Roon offers, by far, the best music management capabilities. Eventually I subscribed to music streaming services (Tidal, Qobuz). For a while I used Roon with my local library only. I have been using Roon for several years now. Disclaimer: I am a lifetime Roon subscriber, and would very much like for Roon to succeed.
