Dropouts with live radio and playlists on Roon; both roon and tidal playlists. Some songs will play others Roon simply skips including ones that I play regularly

Hey @Daniel_Holmes,

Thanks so much for sharing all the information connected to this issue. We appreciate it. Also, thank you for investing your time to narrowing down the issue to the Naim device

If I understand correctly, at this point, the behavior you’ve been describing (the skipping and playback interruptions regardless of source) only happens when you stream to your Naim via Roon?

As far as your question goes, I wanted to clarify that while you can play your local library via Roon, Roon does not alter it in any way. It simply “sees” it. So, if you have music files on an SSID, managing that happens (mostly) outside of Roon. You can, however, take some actions from within Roon that will affect your library, like deleting files:

Backup of music files

Are you looking for backup software or a better way to replicate your music files on another drive? Also, what OS is your primary hard drive connected? On my Linux box I use Duplicacy to backup to a USB drive and Wasabi cloud storage. This is a command line application but it is available with GUI too.
