Lossless… Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify (soon)… Roon?

Am a roon lifer here. Have about 900 albums of DSD and hi res FLAC in personal library on it.

I’m an exclusive classical and jazz fan. For classical I use IDAGIO, partly because it actually pays the artist a fair value for streaming. That’s something we should all consider: if we all rush to the lowest common price denominator and the artists aren’t paid much, we may not have that much great music left.

Had Qobuz for a while, wasn’t that impressed with their catalogue. For example, many of the month’s Gramophone recommendations weren’t available.

I now use Apple Music for my jazz discovery, IDAGIO for classical discovery and buy CDs or lossless downloads for the albums I like and add to my Roon library. For example, discovered a fabulous new mezzo today on IDAGIO—Fatma Said. Her new album is fab.

So… will IDAGIO survive? I sure hope so.
