As we celebrate Roon’s 10th anniversary, we’re humbled and thrilled by the music journey we’ve shared with our customers. Your enthusiasm and support have fueled our success from day one, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
When Roon was still just a dream, we knew we wanted to create something truly special — a captivating experience that would appeal to all music lovers. Roon would be a kind of two-sided magic mirror. One side would reflect your unique passion for music in the present: your current tastes, your collection thus far, your daily habits—and most importantly—your wants and needs, now. But flip it around, and it would reveal something more: new possibilities. Visions of new musical horizons, unknown genres, unheard sounds, undiscovered artists, unexplored depths in music, and in your relationship with it. That side mirrors what we all desire most — a closer, deeper connection with music. Roon wouldn’t just reflect your musical personality; it would help it grow and evolve.
Looking back on that inspiration sparked a fun idea. What if we created a fun quiz to reveal your unique music personality and how it’s reflected by Roon?! Answer a few questions, and you’ll discover which musical archetype you mirror when you dive into your Roon experience. Are you a meticulous collection Curator, an adventurous Explorer of new music, a Scholar who devours music stories, an Audiophile who craves pristine sound quality, or perhaps someone else entirely? Wouldn’t it be fun to find out?

What our Community values most
We recently asked our Community to tell us what they like most about Roon — to share how it mirrors their passions and elevates their listening experience. As usual, our members’ responses were incredibly moving. Each one painted a vivid picture of a deeply personal and unique connection to music. Taken together, they revealed fascinating patterns and highlighted Roon’s wide appeal. The conversation inspired us to create a poll to see which Roon benefits would prove most popular—and the results have been fascinating.
Your top features
The Number One benefit has been a story of two battling features vying for the top slot. As of press time, 47% claim that Roon’s unified music library is the favorite. The seamless integration of local files with streaming services creates a cohesive collection that puts your music first, regardless of source. Stepping right on its heels, 46% of you adore Roon’s rich metadata – the captivating artist bios, album credits, liner notes, lyrics, and stories that bring new discoveries and treasured favorites to life, transforming browsing from a passive to an active experience.
Roon’s Audiophile bona fides remain paramount for 29%, highlighting high-resolution playback and advanced DSP features. Meanwhile, 25% value music discovery capabilities that help you uncover new artists and rediscover forgotten gems tucked away in your collections.
What’s particularly interesting is how closely the benefits bubbling just beneath those are distributed. From Roon’s beautiful, immersive interface (21%) to ARC’s on-the-go custom streaming service sensations (20%), seamless multi-room playback ease (17%), to its extensive device compatibility (15%), different aspects of Roon resonate with different listeners.
As we look ahead to our next decade, we’re committed to continually enhancing the features you rely on while exploring new ways to connect you with music you love.
