Roon Vs jriver

[ted_b]

Guys, I offer my free video tutorials (in my signature) as a fig leaf.    They will quickly get you used to all the nice things JRIver can do; and yes, you can sort on (and therefore create a view with) ANY tag or field in JRiver...album name, artist, album-artist, etc etc.  And any view can be included in JRemote.  And all these examples include user-defined fields too.  I'd be hard pressed to find a sort or view or query JRIver cannot do.  Even as a Roon user, JRiver is still my go-to for mass tagging (and I use Geoff's simple scripting to handshake with HQPlayer too, on occasion).

I think that you mean olive branch?

 

The fig leaf is for covering....

 

Thanks for all of the JRiver tips you have left over the years. Much appreciated!

 

LOL.  Yes, of course...my bad.     Thanks.

 

Koupa,  you forgot to add (Multiple Artists) to Album/Artist(Auto) to tell JRiver it was a compilation.  You'd then only get one cover in your album view.

Steve, have you taken a look at Geoff's scripting solution for JRIver-to-HQPlayer?  It's really very easy to set up, and can be customized to allow for different HQP filters based on tags, if needed.

When I have time,  I will try again and then send screen shots to show where I am having difficulties.

OK, do it on that thread or PM me.  Love to help.

This is a legitimate feature request, that is all.

Do not underestimate the knowledge and expertise that Jussi has built into HQPlayer.  Its ability to convolve in DSD, for example.  It just might be that Roon does not have the ability to do a volume control in DSD.

Roon can control volume with their DSP, with CPU activity cost and a conversion. DSD to PCM is quite good in Roon, better than I expected.

As I said,  Roon may not have the knowledge or tools to do DSD volume without a conversion.  That was my only point.  I'm sure their DSD to PCM, albeit lossy, is good.
