| Roon finds your lost information |
| There is more to describing your music than just artists, albums and tracks. Roon finds and displays detailed metadata for your music, including reviews, ratings, recordings and release dates, multi-tiered genre, high-resolution artist photos and songs. |
| Learn about the people behind the music |
| People are people, not the field of study. At Roon, all sorts of people – actors, musicians, producers and engineers – appear as links to deep biographical information, allowing you to explore their careers and associates. |
| Rune is a link to each person, genre, place and time |
| You know your favorite artists, which makes them the best starting point for discovery. Roon lets you explore connections to their careers, including influencers, followers, collaborators and other related artists and musicians. |
| Browse by composer, work and performance |
| Classical music does not fit well with the artist-album-track structure of pop and rock music. Rune starts with the composer, then shows their work and lists the performances, including the conductor, the ensemble, the soloist, the recording venue and the date. |
| Lyrics, displayed in sync with music |
| With a huge database of songs, Roon lets you sing along to millions of songs. These can be displayed as a lyric sheet or can be synchronized to scroll with music played in real time. Never sing “Sweet dreams made of cheese” again. |
| Find upcoming concerts for artists in your library |
| Don’t miss another concert by a favorite actor. When an artist from your library is on tour, Rune lets you know about it. You can even buy tickets to the event through Songkick. |
| Show what’s on any TV in your home |
| The Roon display lets you show what’s on your TV or any other device, including a web browser, using Chromecast. The display even supports real-time lyrics, so you can sing to your liking. |
| Importing your music is easy, fast and completely automatic |
| Roon automatically detects your music, corrects errors, and enriches information. Rune does this regularly, so your music is always up to date without lifting your finger. |
| Find music with filters, sorting, and focus |
| Roon makes it easy to find what you’re looking for. Using Focus, you can filter your library using any number of criteria, such as “1980s pop”, “24-bit jazz recording”, and even “Beethoven powered by Herbert von Karazan”. |
| Rune sees your folder without touching the file |
| Roon constantly scans your music folder, so whenever you add new music, you’ll see it immediately. You can also drag and drop music directly into the Roon app to copy to your Roon system. |
| Keep multiple versions of your album |
| All albums have different versions with different track lists, mastering and audio encoding. Roon shows you those versions – in your library and from TIDAL and Qobuz – and lets you highlight your favorites. |
| Everything is connected through hundreds of styles |
| Music is often described as belonging to a single genre, but it is seldom simple. Rune’s taxonomy features well-known top-level genres (such as jazz, rock / pop, and classical) and hundreds of subgenres (such as post-bop, speed metal, and chamber music). |
| Organize your music using playlists and tags |
| Combine music files and streaming content into your playlists, or use tags for more flexibility. Tags can be applied to any artist, composer, album, track, genre, playlist or even other tag. |
| Both file and stream all your music in one place |
| View all music stored on your local device such as an internal or USB hard drive, or streaming content from NAS, plus TIDAL and Qobuz. Everything is folded together, so you don’t have to worry about where the music will be stored. |
| Your personal gateway to the world of streaming music |
| Rune knows your music and how it relates to the rest of the world’s music. The collection you create is always the beginning of exploration in Roon and it becomes the lens through which you see the world of streaming. |
| Spectacular search across your files and streams |
| A unified library means you can search all at once without having to worry about where all your music is. Search for composers, performers, producers, genres, styles or anything else! |
| Tidal and cobwebs with Rune are like a shopping game |
| Using TIDAL or Qobuz with Roon feels like shopping at a record store. All the streaming content you find is treated as a local file in your personal library, so it looks like you own it. |
| Find a great performance every time |
| You’ve collected performances from your favorite musicians. Since Rune understands classical music, it can show you many more great performances of those compositions from TIDAL or Qobuz. |
| Rune Radio curates music based on your tastes |
| Sometimes you just want to grab your playlist, but you can just sit back and let Rune do the work for you. Choose a starting point, and Roon Radio will play a mix of music proposed by TIDAL and Qobuz. |
| Suggestions let you create playlists in no time |
| Since Rune chooses the music for you, just give thumbs up (or down) to effortlessly put together a playlist. Once you find the new picks of your choice, add them to your library for easy access later. |
| Rediscover your favorites with insights into your music |
| View featured performers, genres, durations, and labels from your library. Find collaborations with your favorite artists, and rediscover albums you like but haven’t heard in years. |
| A personalized experience for everyone in your home |
| Everyone in your home has a Roon profile, so everyone has their own preferences, playlists and history. That means everyone gets recommendations made for their unique tastes. |
| Don’t miss a new release or a great recommendation |
| More new and re-released music is released each week than ever before. Throughout the app, Roon makes sure you find music you don’t want to miss. |
| Bit-perfect playback of PCM and DSD audio |
| Roon provides uncompromising audio perfection. Its audio engine supports bit-perfect playback of harmless and harmful file formats, including high-resolution audio content such as PCM and DSD, in both stereo and multichannel. |
| The signal path shows exactly what you are hearing |
| Sometimes it’s hard to know what’s going on in your audio. With the help of signal paths, Roon gives you clear and precise information about how audio flows through your system from source media to speakers. |
| All major formats are supported in maximum resolution |
| Enjoy 768kHz / 32-bit PCM and DSD512 (stereo and multi-channel) on WAV, WAV64, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC (Apple Lossless), DFF, DSF, OGG, MP3 and AAC. If your gear doesn’t support any format, Roon transcodes to playback at the best quality it supports. |
| Tune your audio into each cell with DSP |
| A powerful DSP suite helps you customize your listening experience, including volume leveling, EQ, upsampling, room modification, convolution, crossfeed, and more. Compatible with PCM, MQA, or DSD content and all supported audio endpoints. |
| Rune sings every piece of audio gear |
| From network streamers to mobile devices, from WiFi speakers to USB DACs, and from smart devices to whole home audio distribution systems, Roon plays your audio everywhere, at the highest possible sound quality. |
| The only end-to-end MQA support in the world |
| MQA Core Decoding lets anyone – even without MQA-enabled hardware – experience MQA content. Roon is the only music player that can apply DSP to MQA content while allowing your MQA-enabled DAC to render post-processed streams. |
