Roon seems great but the pricing is really steep in my opinion... Costs practically as much as a streaming service, but you still need to get your own music.

At least they have a lifetime purchase option, though it costs $830!

It is not cheap, but it is clearly made by people who care about music. In those days where "slop" is so common, for people who can afford it, it is a nice refresher.

Another minor inconvenience is that it is memory hungry for large libraries. In my case, for ~1 TB of flac, the docker takes 5-6 GB RAM on my debian NAS. Limiting it at 4 GB definitely crashed w/ OOM, at 8Gb never had issue.
