The only music player which fulfills all of this and much more is foobar2000. There is nothing else which comes even close to it.
Looking at the Roon webpage:
> Forget everything you know about music players. Music is an experience, and Roon reconnects you with it.
Experience? Why does everything has do be an experience? I just want to manage my library and listen to music and not fight against miles and miles of whitespace and padding and "beautiful graphics" to actually find my content.
> We have more convenience than ever, but no feeling of excitement or engagement.
I don't want to be excited or enganged, I just want to listen to music...
> What you get is a searchable, surfable magazine about your music.
Searchable? I bet that foobar2000 is way more searchable than Roon will ever be.
> “It’s light years beyond any current app.”
lol
Perhaps I am just in the wrong target demography but there is not a single thing on that page which would convince me to switch to Roon. foobar2000 is the vim/emacs of the music player world and everything else is just a copy of notepad.exe with some fancy graphics.
