I have used pretty much all of the music management softwares. I think MM loses on the GUI front this is a typical problem with open-source projects where there is no overarching design talent built in.Īdditionally, there are a raft of DSP plug-ins not sure any of them are any good. However, MM 4 seems to have Chromecast support, and I see plugins for AirPlay as well. Note that MM can also play to your devices, though it uses DLNA instead of RAAT/AirPlay/Chromecast/Sonos/KEF protocols that Roon uses. There’s a “Virtual CD” system which allows you to keep track of your physical CD collection. The previous two are particularly interesting because with MM, you can sync your playlists and associate music and listening history to your mobile devices to take along with you.Ī publicly documented database schema (yes, that can get you into trouble :-). Integrated podcast “catcher” monitors your favorite podcasts and downloads new episodes to your library. Would be interesting to see how this competes with Roon’s local-only radio function. Playlist management combined with an Auto-DJ function that will create a mix for you from your collection. It has an auto-tagger (don’t know how well that works) as well. MM uses native track format tags, so that if you shift music management software, your tags go with you. MM has a plug-in architecture for metadata search which allows access to things like the Discogs DB. I’ve got a lot of ripped video which I currently need to manage with something other than Roon. Consider these features which Roon could have: Looking at the MediaMonkey feature page is interesting.

Given this, I’ve been looking at other software packages, to see what they could provide that Roon doesn’t. And the recent radio rework seems to have signalled a move away from collectors, in the direction of streamers. Roon has some amazingly sophisticated features, but they seem to boil down to three: (1) a beautiful GUI (though somewhat hard to read sometimes), (2) the RAAT protocol and the fact that they’ve convinced a number of hardware vendors to support it, and (3) the DSP processing.
