Read the whole quote in context:
I read this as:
Yes. Sonos has had a long relationship with Apple. Sonos supported Apple Music and was sold in Apple Stores years before Apple began making HomePods.
Apple recently sent me a survey asking why I had cancelled their Music service, though I’d only subscribed for a few months several years ago. My sense is that Roon and other device users (BluOS etc) are a tiny fraction of the market for them and don’t make a dent in their bottom line.
In my honest opinion. Even if Roon can integrate Apple Music as-if without dsp, without audio-engine, I feel Apple Music still will be a big win for Roon.
I bet they have. Now Roon being the most expensive streaming app out there but also have lots of subscriber. If Roon is keen to enable this they should use our shares to negotiate things with Apple.
Instead they just use our fund to make Nucleus which benefit only minor population for Roon subscriber.
I think if Roon do not up their game by focusing on their core competencies which is better music service integration, other product like Audirvana will at some day take away Roon’s share in the market.
Roon的服务里可以加入Apple Music的服务吗，tidal实在太卡，没法在我的地区播放。Apple Music确实非常流畅，还请贵公司可以在Roon的APP里添加这个软件。谢谢

@ning_ji - 我已将您的帖子合并到现有的功能建议主题中。
I’ve merged your post into the existing Feature Suggestion thread.
Tidal has a lot of problems with providing the latest music, the catalog also seems limited. Yes, there is also Qobuz, only that this one has such serious regional restrictions (I don’t want to play VPNs only under this and also setting up accounts for other countries, they have us in Poland in the back of the body, I have them in the back of the body). Apple Music is currently the most vibrant outside of Spotify streaming. That’s how it just looks. And now yes - Roon in local collections is great, in streaming it is pale and it is not cheap. As a holistic solution, one that is to be used to listen to music from files in all circumstances, anywhere, it must be universal in this respect and include one of these two services. Spotify will probably finally do it HiFi/hi-res, but it shouldn’t even be such a lock (with such a good DSP in Roon, EQ for headphones and speakers in general). I don’t understand why the developer doesn’t do everything to launch any of these options. It is not impossible - it is possible, because there is nothing here that cannot be jumped. I’ve been using Roon since the beginning, sometimes it annoys me, but for now it gives it the opportunity to expand the catalog. There is only one problem - is there any work on it at all??? Deezer seemed to be a promising option at the time. I also like to use it, but it’s again like a Tidal little player, they have no chance with Spotify, with Apple. Only these two streams count now and there is no indication that this will change.
Pity Apple Music and Amazon integration can’t be sorted. Know a few people who might consider costs if their favourite streaming services were supported.
My work around is to use Apple Music on my Eversolo A6 gen2, also works on A6 and A8 (have used all three successfully with it.
