A few weeks ago, we asked you to tell us what you like most about Roon — as always, your responses were fascinating and inspiring. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know many of you from reading your comments on this board, and some of your favorite Roon benefits surprised me.
That sparked a idea… what if we created a fun quiz to reveal our unique music personality and how it’s reflected by Roon? So we did! You can find the listening style quiz in our new blog and then check out the companion playlist in the Playlists by Roon section of your Roon homepage.
And, if you’d like, you can share your results here. I’ll go first… (drumroll) turns out that I am The Scholar! The quiz totally nailed what I love most about Roon.
You don’t just listen to music—you study it. You’re fascinated by the stories behind the songs, the connections between artists, and the historical context that shaped the music. Roon’s captivating metadata is your playground, offering artist bios, album reviews, credits, and detailed information that transforms each listening session into a journey of discovery. You love impressing friends with unexpected facts about their favorite artists. Check out The Music Scholar playlist in the Playlists by Roon section of your Roon homepage!
Share your results and tell us what you think about the quiz. Did you enjoy it? Would you like to see more interactive content on our blog, or in Roon itself? Let us know!
For you, presentation matters. You appreciate thoughtful design and beautiful interfaces that make browsing your music collection an aesthetic experience. Roon’s intuitive, visually rich user interface satisfies your desire for both form and function. You enjoy the immersive experience of full-screen album art, visually browsing through your collection, and the clean, modern design that makes music exploration feel like browsing an art gallery.

The Audiophile – You don’t listen to music—you benchmark it. Your HiFi system costs more than a used car, and yet you only ever play one album—the same impeccably recorded 1970s jazz fusion record—to “test” your setup. Your friends have heard “Take Five” so many times they now associate it with existential dread. You swear you can hear the drummer’s thoughts, but you can’t hear your partner asking you to please, for the love of God, play something else. Except when she comes in from.the kitchen to comment on how good your new HiFi component sounds. Deep down, you know your system will never be perfect—but that won’t stop you from spending another mortgage payment on cables that “open up the soundstage and lift veils.” Check out The Same Damn Album Again playlist in the Playlists by Roon section of your Roon homepage!
You love organization and having everything in one place. For you, music is a collection to be carefully assembled and maintained. Roon’s unified library speaks to your desire for order, allowing you to seamlessly blend local files with streaming services in one cohesive experience. You appreciate being able to browse your entire collection without barriers between sources, making your musical universe feel complete and interconnected.

I’m considered “The Scholar”!
Well, that is one side of my listening habits, and why not?!
I do like Roons background info on artists, albums, compositions and composers!
And, yes, this kind of interactivity is a treat, thank you @jamie !
I’ve been categorized as a Globetrotter, which seems reasonably accurate. Unfortunately I’ve encountered connectivity issues using Roon ARC to access my personal library (which includes many concerts I’ve recorded and mastered myself) even when I have a strong cellular connection. Not a huge deal, I just use Tidal Connect until I can get ARC online again.
turns out that I am The Scholar! The quiz totally nailed what I love most about Roon.
