I suspect Roon might even do better than that - they might have the at-home Roon Core transcode your FLACs to a medium quality MP3 and stream it out of your house and to your portable device over Wifi or 4G! Or maybe allow a similar “download” function to how Tidal makes tracks local to your device.
Tags are a great innovation but they need more horsepower:
—More malleable logic
—Ability to create custom graphics rather than the mosaic of artists/albums
—Ability to create parent and child groups of tags – hierarchies – or some method of drill-down that doesn’t display all levels of tags on one page
—Better sort abilities to apply tags to the right object
—Import/export from/to custom embedded file tags
I saw on another thread that someone feels Roon is already over-engineered. I can see that argument, but I personally could use that engineering. I guess the trick is to make it simple for some and powerful for others! Maybe an “expert mode” or a “Roon Light” ???
