It does if they strip down Roon to software that doesn’t integrate both your music files and the music service .
The new acquisition might help push Amazon in more of a Roon direction. but that’s the only one worth development time other than Deezer which pulled out of planning for it. The others are just so niche and small can’t see them able to deliver the goods Roon needs of the subcriber numbers.
Apple isn’t going to happen ever that route has been closed off due to their restrictions imposed to Roon of it being only available to Apple products and not use their audio engine. Spotify it’s not in their interests for 3rd party access no on gets that anymore only Sonos has it as a legacy as it allowed them a way to get a foothold in the early days, same way Sonos was allowed Apple Music way back (not lossless though)
Only way I see a lot more western ones being added is if Harman forces a change to how it currently works which is then breaking one of Roon fundmental SP its source agnostic policy for how it manages all your music sources.
I imagine we will see other eastern providers if they can get them on board, which I am sure Harman/Samsung have some sway to achieve.
KKBOX being an Eastern provider already being onboard. No idea if there are other similar sized ones available in that area.
There is Danny mentioned one in the takeover thread but can’t remember or be arsed to search for it. I thibk KKbox is Taiwanese and not Korean.
