As soon as I tried Roon on a free trial, I knew I was never going to want to use a different interface for my music listening, so a lifetime scrip was a no-brainer.
The one thing that scares me is that the same thing could befall Roon lifers that befell TiVo lifers: the service just might not last all that long. I’m three years into my lifetime scrip, so if Roon were to go broke tomorrow, I’d only be out about $300. But if I bought today and Roon went broke tomorrow, I’d be pretty freaking ticked.
Roon would release one last version for local only as far a I remember , obviously only for lifers , obviously all the infrastructure would die . search the forum for it maybe.
