One more, please. Wow, I hope ol' T-Bone picks it up a bit. I'm only two tracks in and this is a little too sedate for me. :sleep:

Figured I would listen to a few of the new releases for the week, before my radio shows this evening.

A bit of the proggy stuff before bedtime, mmmm....

+2 EAC, plus foobar2000 for tag tweaking and testing.

Cool, thanks for the insights. I'll probably keep using the attached HDD, it's been working, like forever, for the Roon server side and the stability of the LMS side has been great. I like keeping the NAS for dedicated storage and as needed access, be it on or off-site. Additionally, I have...

Thank you for the testing! 👍

@d6jg - Here is a bit of an update for my LMS saga. I scrubbed the install on that first mini PC (ECS LIVA Celeron with only 2GB of RAM and a 32GB SSD, both non-upgradable.) I picked up better mini PC (Lenovo M710 with a quad-core i5, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD) which is much better equipped. I...

Sorry, for the absence, been a bit busy, eh? Just a Roon Queen mix playlist tonight.

Nah, I could have gotten away with using just the Pro+, but I thought the P3 looked pretty sharp as the top of the stack. I have other options for detailed listening. This was a replacement for a converted boom-box. Boom-box with Bluetooth/FM transmitter. The new setup is definitely purdier, eh?

I just finished putting together a new system for the bedroom. A set of Klipsch R-41Ms, a Fosi V3 & P3 with the Pro+ as the source. Nice little system.

Wow! 12 CCAs and here I felt bad for having 4. 😁

I was just wondering about this very topic, since I just finished piecing together a new bedroom system with my Pro+ as the source. I wish Roon Labs would hurry up, eh?

As others have mentioned, dBPoweramp does a good job, I have heard. I personally use EAC then foobar2000 to finish tweaking the tags, but I love the details and I'm a bit OCD. I normally rip to FLAC, for home use and 320 AAC for the portable for in car and earphone/IEM use. I would also say...

Sorry I'm late to the comments. As far as Tidal goes, all of the various ways to play it, (e.g. Connect and normal, from both PC and Android), they all seem to work just fine. Unfortunately, it does put a spotlight on my issues with Tidal's interface, which is why I normally use Roon as my Tidal...

Oh, I hear ya, sir. I'm certainly not planning on selling anything from meager collection. Hell, it would be nice to be able to get all of my media out of storage. Eventually, in time. Here is a photo of the 5x5 Kallax unit from about 2018, of course that doesn't include all of the acquisitions...
