Migrating from a Qnap with Sooloos on to Roon

[BlackJack]

Hi @Ben_Spargo and welcome to the Forum.

So a couple of years ago, we changed the sooloos core to a QNAP running the Sooloos software.

Depending on the size of the library and the model of the QNAP, it might not be sufficiently powerful to act as a Roon Core.

From what i can gather, changing this to Roon is basically a case of installing Roon Server and pointing it at the music files already on the QNAP?

This is a fresh start, loosing all previous edits, playlists, favourites, … made to the current database. If you want to migrate from Sooloos to Roon, there might be additional steps needed (FAQ: Can I use my Meridian Sooloos 2.1 music and database with Roon?). As I’m just another user of Roon, I go and tag @support here so they might join the discussion. It’s maybe best to don’t touch the current installation until you hear back from them.

(Side question, once this is done, what do people suggest is the best way to rip CD’s to the QNAP from now on since ControlPC/Mac would no long be used)

This is often a question of personal preference. There are already many threads about it:
