What streamer software do you use?

Anything it can't do that lms can?

Roon doesnt do any of the LMS plugins, so if your reliant on them then it could be a bit of a shock.

With LMS I had some display plugins for my Transporters dual displays...totally blank with Roon but hey ho.
Win some lose some.

How about multi room audio synchronisation?

Currently have a trial of Roon until mid September and to be honest I've hardly used it as it requires my pc to be left on to provide the server software which to be honest is a waste of electricity. If the software could run in my NAS then it might be better but I can't see me spending £400 on Roon. When I can do my own searching and play to my Pi using MoOde.

I couldn't get the Roon ready version of IQAUDIO software to run on my Pi either so that was another fail.

Personally think Roon is a bit of smoke and mirrors and is vastly overpriced and the £20 per month on top for Tidal just makes it far too expensive for music that A. I already own on my NAS and B. Music I'll never own on Tidal.

Pi with MoOde for me ;-)

For example, if you have the album "Elegant Gypsy" by Al Di Meola in your collection, you'll find a phenomenal musician playing bass, namely one Anthony Jackson.
If he's listed, and you click on his name, do you get a comprehensive list of other artists and albums he's played with?
...

Yes, you can find his name (clickable) on the review of, say; Casino, Electric Rendezvouz, Tiramisu or Elegant Gypsy.
I does not matter if these albums are in your own library or from Tidal.
When clicking his name you get to his "artist-page" from where you can play/navigate to loads of collaborations and performances.
(Both locally and to music on Tidal)

A couple of samples:

Would love to give Roon a try, but none of my tablets are supported.

Mobile phone?

For easy of use, respectable sound quality and a high quality GUI Roon is much better than most, easily streets ahead of that over blown JRiver playback software. I even use it on some of the demonstration machines.

For those with a tweaky nature and patience then Bug Head is good. but be warned lots of hair pulling can happen.

I seen and heard a few good Linux based playback devices again simple but good, not for your everyday user though.

Very fortunate to be able to write my own memory based software for my reference playback device, If I hear something better I would change so far nothing seems to tick the SQ boxes yet.

Big fan of www.subsonic.org running on a Raspberry Pi here - Easy to install using the www.dietpi.net distribution, as well as a whole host of other tools and players (including Plex and Ampache), great for working out what you like best.

I'm still using JRiver 17 and my phone or tablet with Gizmo as remote. It's never let me down and my dedicated music server just works, so never felt the need to update the software, which means paying more. I have read a few people say that JRiver got too bloated, so I'm happy to stay was where I am and spend the time spinning toons
