Using Roon at Work (multiple Roon Core licenses)

[dabassgoesboomboom]

@Krutsch

Not a feature request, just thinking out-load about how I could use Roon at both home and at work (or on the road).

I know this thread is about trying to find a practical solution right now and I’m sure you already know but just in case others reading this thread aren’t aware, a mobile solution for Roon has been confirmed by Roon to be coming. No timeline but Roon have said it’s a major goal, so it’s a good bet it will be solved:

@brian

It’s one of our major goals for this year. There are about a half-dozen sub-projects/prerequisites before the whole thing can be delivered. We’ll be working on them in parallel with other features throughout the year. Some are already underway. No idea when it will all be released yet.

@Hugo_Sharp

and also final quality (yet to beat quality of direct connection between my source and DAC).

Just out of interest, what’s your source and DAC where you’re hearing a noticeable difference between Tidal and local drive files?

Is your Roon Core USB connected to your DAC?

@Hugo_Sharp

Furthermore, every time I move streaming provider (itunes rips> spotify>tidal) it’s a nightmare with the library - playlists messed up, track versions unavailable (release version matters greatly!).

Stop changing streaming services! Just kidding of course. Soundiiz is great (better than nothing) but missed a lot of things for me too.

@Hugo_Sharp

I chased quality and moved from spotify to tidal but quickly became frustrated with tidal’s lack of coverage (only 75% of my main music)

I use a US Tidal account and found it’s library is bigger than Tidal AU for stuff I listen to. Could be an option to try out?

@Hugo_Sharp

Furthermore Tidal has a questionable longevity and qobuz isn’t available in my country.

I’ve been using Qobuz for a while. You just need to use a VPN to initially setup the account, which is easy. Once you’ve setup the account, no VPN needed anymore for playback. Worth a try, especially with Roon integration now.
