After 7 month upgraded the annual subscription to a lifetime membership.
Can’t imagine listening music without Roon.

After 10 days with 1.3 I purchased lifetime. I think it’s inexpensive for what is does for my enjoyment of music and family audio bliss.
It’s the interface, despite its warts, that got me. I used to simply play files via Windows Explorer or Mac Finder as I never found anything beyond Foobar or Winamp that did much for me.
For me, the value of lifetime Roon is in my total immersion and enjoyment of music, finding new music and finding old music I’d forgotten was in my collection.
I do need to be more conservation installing updates though, better change control throughout my system. Self discipline and documentation - wow, now I just took most of the fun out of it.
Much better than a new CD player … so happy I took the plunge! I’ve been using Roon since 2016 and switched to lifetime last year.
If people think Roon is expensive (License and core machine) perhaps they should look at it as buying a very top end CD player that will do more than a CD player ever could.
It’s all about how you look at things.

and $500 doesn’t buy a very good transport.
Oh, but it can! 
You just got to know where to look … in this forum.
Love roon and just subscribed lifetime. But there’s no special greeting mail to me, anything wrong?

None of the rest of us got a special greeting either - we just turned up on this thread and waved - just like you. Hello and welcome 
Welcome in… 
Welcome Isiah.
Anyone going to CanJam in NYC? I have some meetings but I could be around for a real life meet and greet. PM me…

I signed up with lifetime. This way I don’t need to worry about continuing to pay and I expect it will be my player for at least enough years to justify th e up front payment. The payment has been forgotten. Now I just pay for the streamer.
Many years ago I bout a lifetime subscription to Music Match player…have tried many players since then w/Jriver being my longest and last/current. I still use it in parallel w/Roon for tagging …not for playing.

It took a short trial to convince me to become a lifer. Not only Roon is a joy to use, but all of a sudden I have so many endpoints at home! Main “audiophile” rig, home theater system, bedroom system and headphone system. It also brought a couple of old Squeezebox Radios back to life! DSP for room/headphone correction is awesome.
The only missing piece is being able to access my core remotely. I’m hoping that will come soon in a future release.

After having used only three months of my annual subscription I upgraded to lifetime yesterday!
It was an easy decision!
Cheers,

Welcome everyone who’s joined since the last time I said welcome ! It’s always good to see new “lifers”.
@hacker19, what is your Core running on ? Mine is a Windows 10 server and I control it remotely on an iPad with RD Client.
What RD client do you use? I plan on making a dedicated Win 10 machine soon. Just seen the Microsoft one that looks good.
Yes, that’s the one I’m using. The desktop comes up on the iPad and it just works. You can bring up a keyboard using a centre top icon. Very rarely I’ve had a difficulty connecting. In that case I’ve found navigating to a folder using the browser in Roon’s backup feature can kick something in Windows and RD Client can then connect. It might just be a peculiarity of my Windows setup, but worth a try if you get stuck.

Its nice to use first party software too, I imagine its more secure than other options.
Security is something Roon entirely lacks AFAIK. It hasn’t been high on the list as long as it’s been intended for internal LAN use only. I imagine they are going to have to step it up considerably if/when the mobile solution is released.
