ROON SOFTWARE is the cutting-edge music management platform that transforms how you interact with your audio system. Acting as the "brain" of your music ecosystem, Roon connects, streams, and manages your audio content while delivering seamless multi-room functionality from the Roon Core (Server) to your Roon Ready Devices.
Unlike a standalone streaming service, Roon integrates your existing music sources, including internet radio, streaming services, and local music files, through your network into one cohesive, seamless experience. Through a series of intuitive apps for computers, smartphones, and tablets, Roon organises and sends your audio to compatible output devices, bridging the gap between diverse components and creating a unified listening environment.
By joining the dots of your listening ecosystem, Roon ensures flawless playback, intelligent music discovery, and a highly engaging interface, redefining the way you experience music at home.
All your music in one place, both files and streams
See all the music stored on your local devices, like an internal or USB hard drive or NAS, plus streaming content from Tidal and Qobuz. Everything is folded together, so you don’t have to worry about where music is stored.
Keep multiple versions of your albums
All albums have different versions with different track listings, mastering, and audio encoding. Roon shows you all those versions – both in your library and from TIDAL and Qobuz – and lets you highlight your favourite.
Roon finds the information you’ve been missing
There’s more to describing your music than artist, album, and track. Roon finds and displays detailed metadata for your music, including reviews, ratings, recording and release dates, multi-tiered genres, high-resolution artist photos, and lyrics.
Learn about the people behind the music
People are people, not text fields. In Roon, all types of people – performers, composers, producers, and engineers – appear as links to deep biographical information, allowing you to explore their careers and collaborators.
Every person, genre, place, and time in Roon is a link
You know your favourite artists, which makes them the best starting point for discovery. Roon lets you explore connections to their careers, including influences, followers, collaborators, and other related artists and composers.
Browse by composer, work, and performance
Classical music doesn’t fit neatly into the artist-album-track structure of pop and rock music. Roon starts with composers, then shows their works, and lists performances, including the conductor, ensemble, soloists, recording venue, and date.
Find a great performance, every time
You’ve collected performances of works by your favourite composers. Because Roon understands classical music, it can show you many more great performances of those compositions from Tidal or Qobuz.
TIDAL and Qobuz with Roon is like a shopping spree
Using Tidal or Qobuz with Roon feels like a shopping spree at a record store. All the streaming content you find is treated like local files in your personal library, so it feels like you own it.
Importing your music is easy, fast, and totally automatic
Roon automatically identifies your music, corrects errors, and enhances it with rich information. Roon does this regularly, so your music is always updated without you lifting a finger.
Filter, sort, and find music with Focus
Roon makes it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. Using Focus, you can filter your library using any number of criteria, like “1980s Pop”, “24-bit Jazz recordings”, or even “Beethoven conducted by Herbert von Karajan”.
