I agree, Roon provides a lot of metadata that Tidal does not. Also, if you want to find things in Tidal, Roon makes it easier. However, Roon does not and cannot overcome the excrable tagging and cataloging of classical music that Tidal provides.

I am kind of tweaky and had my own library tagged accurately. If you do that, there is less value to Roon. Because of that and the issues with classical music in Tidal, I discontinued Roon after a year's subscription. I could never get used to the idiosyncratic and inconsistent GUI either. YMMV.

In particular, I think it might be good for someone who likes mainly pop, rock, and such, and wants someone else to take care of the tagging.
