What streaming services will be supported at launch?

We plan to ship with Tidal, and nothing else to start.

We have 3 others implemented, but we have a relationship with Tidal that exceeds the relationship of the others. The experience you get with Tidal+Roon will be unparalleled. It makes all the other services look archaic. Even the integrations we’ve done of other streaming services into Roon feels like a bolt-on feature when you see what we’ve done with Tidal.

I don’t want to name the others, because I’d like to grow those business relationships with them, so we can also provide awesome elsewhere, but history has taught us that they just don’t care. For example, we had a working Spotify implementation that they gave us the run around for over 2 years, and then in the end, refused to let us ship it.

Working with Tidal has been great. Those guys really get it. The result of their willingness to work with us has resulted in a product you will love.
