It looks like there is no stopping Roon from expanding its reach. After announcing an online store and 40 new partner devices in April 2022, the popular music listening and management system has announced 15 additional partner devices in both the Roon Ready and Roon Tested categories.
Roon Ready and Roon Tested devices now number over 1,000 from 200 brands.

Roonacy…Sheer Roonacy. Do not make me make the reader ship get out their thesaurs and dictionary. I so loathe Roon as I find it naught but a herd mentality. Ugh.
“What is Roon”? For any sane person that thinks for themselves, it is USELESS.
“Roon Approved”, LOL! “Roon Ready”? LOLOL!
I would sooner never listen to music again than to be farced into using that crap. Talk about “livin’ the scheme”?
A tool and his money are soon Rooned. It is as MQA to me. Crap. Pure, unadulterated, crap. FTN.
Behold! “A voice, whining in the shillderness…ROON is The Way! ROON is the Fey, the Troof and the Trite.”
Did I mention, FTN? Yup.
If some have forgotten I had a three month free trial that lasted two months. Roon sucks. It is no better than JRIver and MusicBee but the frAudiophiles are pushing Roon like poo out of an elephants butt.
Romper Roon. Yuck. Buddha save us all.
