pointing Roon at a couple of different folders with music in (including my music2 folder on my MC200) was joyfully easy and very fast to pick up and identify most of the albums. Please note, this is not the advised procedure. It is advisable to do a full export from Sooloos, and then point Roon at that. It will have a better chance of identifying albums then. (I believe what you did - pointing directly at the Sooloos storage - works better now than it used to, but is still basically not optimised.) In short, this is everything I thought Sooloos would be, and wasn't. So I'll be moving over to Roon now. Glad it hit the spot for you.

Ludwig,
So far I think it's fabulous in its current form! I'm genuinely excited to get it all running properly.
Yes, will do an export and set everything up properly now, just wanted to get an idea of it all first.

If you're looking for a dedicated machine to run the core, I have had a great experience installing ROCK on a NUC. Plenty of feedback on the Roon forum. Thanks. Yeah Russ kindly had a chat with me earlier which was really helpful. I'm going to go for a NUC i7 and run ROCK I think!

Nice to chat James, as discussed a NUC7i5BNH would be fine for your needs although the NUC7i7BNH offers around 15% performance gain which may or may not prove relevant?
