How does it help with discovery? Does Roon have some (local? Cloud?) algorithm that looks at your local collection and then suggests things to stream on Qobuz/Tidal? And they've managed to do this well?
- COGlory 3y agoRoon are metadata kings. Genres, sub-genres, sub-sub-genres. And frequently there's a Roon curated playlist associated with each. They also list every single musician on every single track - not just the title artists. Producers, composers, etc. I can find a song I like and click "play radio" and it'll find similar songs. However, I can also click the genre or sub-genre. I've found out whole genres I love that I never knew existed, by seeing what Roon categorized them as. Or I can click a song, see who the guitarist is, see what else they have been in by just clicking their name. Same with producers, etc.
- nsteel 3y agoI like the sound of that last bit. But I honestly thought they were just a software outfit, putting pieces together, are they really providing this extra stuff? It sounds like a huge amount of work in itself.
