Lifetime price increase, $499 -> $699

[Ron_The_Bear]

I’d previously been heartened by Danny’s response on another thread

What happens with the lifetime subscribers if the company folds or is sold?

In the unlikely event that we could not maintain those services, we would release one last build that would kill those dependencies, so you could continue to use the application without our infrastructure as a requirement. Obviously the functionality would be reduced, but it would work.

… which was comforting enough at the time. But I hadn’t considered the full implications until I read the end-of-life statement about Sooloos.

I guess a way around it would be to build in functionality for users to add their own artist/album art and blurbs, but if Roon was folding up I probably wouldn’t expect it unless it had been developed beforehand.
