I think this post puts it well:
What frustrates me is the duplication of work. Ideally Roon would easily import organizational and curation work more deeply/ broadly than it does, and then export any organizing/curation work done within it.
This ripping feature is just a representation of how Roon doesn’t do that. A user might spend weeks to years ripping CDs then move on from Roon, then have a huge amount of metadata-less media, if I understand correctly.
It is merely symbolic to me, but a reminder of that frustration.
And that concern is legitimate so I don’t appreciate the tin hat comment.
