How Does Roon Know?

[Rugby (aka Daniel or Big Dan)]

Roon needs to ping home to do its meta-data updating. It definitely pings home when you are logging into the server for the first time. I think this quote says it best:

Running Roon without WiFi or an Internet Connection

Just do all your metadata identification online, and you should be good to run from your truck. You will have to periodically connect via wifi or it’ll log you out after some time, but that time is many weeks.
