Replacing CD Collection (lemmy.world)

An aquantance of mine has a CD collection and wants to rip it. They don't want to stream it over a server but rather store it, say, on a hard drive connected directly to their speakers/receiver.

While they **don't want to stream ** it wirelessly to/from their phone, they do want to control selection/playback.

Kind of like a remote controlled jukebox or, well, a really big CD player.

I am thinking there's probably some raspberry pi project to play on-device music library that has a remote control library plug-in over LAN. I'd also like there to be a backup option, like a Pi GUI so they could see their library on the TV.

I'm envisioning an interface similar to the retro game players or kodi.

Does this exist?

People will moan and groan because paid software and not opensource but there is nothing even close to Roon for doing this. https://roon.app/en/

I don't mind paying for something but just seeing that its yet another subscription model thing makes me wretch.

(Hope I didn't miss some fixed price info, I didn't look that deep I admit...)

If you take the free trial you’ll see why there’s nothing else like it today. Its next level. Plex works fine too ofc. But its nowhere near as polished.

This seems weird. They say they let you stream with Tidal and Qobuz, is that why it's a monthly fee? I don't really get how the pricing model fits the Roon software features.

Well, no. You need to subscribe separately to streaming services. And yes, I was sceptical before I tried it. There is nothing else like it, if you want to take control over your digital music library Roon is the best way.
