Yes, I feel there are different distinct user types for Roon presently:

  1. Those who predominantly use Roon to access a local library of files, with occasional internet streaming to ‘fill in’, discover new music or access an internet radio station. This type of user is not as much interested in the Daily Mix Playlists, the Roon curated Playlists or even Roon Radio, as the playback performance, UI/UX of accessing their own Music Library (artist images, album artwork, search performance, etc.)
    For this user, the local library is the primary source, is likely to have been collected, groomed, and where possible exists in the highest format they can obtain.

  2. Those who look to Roon as a ‘super-Spotify’ with all internet Streaming content from one or two Service Providers able to offer CD-quality or better music streaming.
    They have a handful of ripped CDs in a local library but would prefer to have playback from a higher quality internet streamed content if available.
    For this type of user, the provision of provided Playlists are of value, as music library ownership is of a lower importance.
