I was not clear, maybe. To explore unknown music, Roon baffles me, I guess. I discovered Erin Boheme listening to Norah Jones with Deezer, I think. I would not have stumbled across her on my own, but Deezer played it at one point....

Roon/Tidal's preloaded playlists are suboptimal, their titles are not intuitive and the content too heavy towards hip hop. I get the Jay-z connection, but not a fan of the genre. That being said, the Roon interface is great and the metadata is beneficial enough that I did purchase the lifetime option at the end of my trial period. I still have Tidal because of the awesome seamless interface of the two. Just wish the curation aspect was more robust (intuitive?).
