Roon requires active internet access? You are kidding…

[Sven_Eschholz]

Dear Roon folks,
Sorry to say, but this does change the use-case dramatically. With all these internet outages nowadays, I really enjoyed the freedom to use my large (3000+) CDs without internet access. Now you tell with Roon 2.0 / ARC I will need to get my cds out of the cellar back again and use my CD player whenever my internet provider has an issue? That does not sound right to me…

How do feel the others about this?

Best
Sven

Agree. It is not good. This issue is being discussed at this thread

Does Roon work without internet? [answered: no]

Spectrum conked out for a few hours this afternoon, so I sat down with a book and went to turn on Roon, to access all my local music files - but nope! It might have to do with the idiosyncrasies of my own network, but - do the Roon designers expect it to work in an environment without Internet access?
