What is Roon?
The ultimate music expert: Roon combines your files and streams into one vast, interconnected digital library, inviting you on new and immersive journeys of musical discovery - every time you jump in. Artist photos, credits, bios, reviews, lyrics, tour dates, and composers are located automatically, then interconnected by links to build a 360º view of your music collection. Filter and sort virtually any music in Roon by performer, producer, composer, label, and a wide variety of other parameters.
Roon goes far beyond the “algorithmic recommendations” you’ll find in mass-market streaming apps. Using its deep metadata and an understanding of over 100,000 expert listeners, Roon surfaces and suggests music with uncanny sensitivity and insight.
Roon plays all of your music on every device: Roon plays music flawlessly on thousands of Roon Ready, Airplay, Chromecast, USB and HDMI devices. Roon also allows you to enjoy your music everywhere with multi-room playback on every platform or device.
Get the best possible sound quality from your audio gear: With bit-perfect playback, exhaustive format support, and powerful DSP, Roon gets the best possible sound quality from your audio gear. It's also the world’s only player with end-to-end MQA (high-resolution streaming) support, even for those without MQA-capable hardware.
Recent changes: Roon 1.8 has a completely new look and feel, but the differences are more than skin deep. Roon uses its deep metadata and an understanding of over 100,000 expert listeners from Valence, to suggest music with uncanny sensitivity and insight. In 1.8, Roon’s Focus feature goes beyond your library, giving you a 360º- view of artists, genre, performers, and composers. Classical recordings also have a new layout, designed to make it easy to find the classical recordings you’re looking for.
