Amazon Music HD..... Not For Audiophiles


Interesting article....

If you want a streaming service primarily for your smartphone or tablet, Amazon Music HD will work fine, because those are the platforms it was designed for.

That is interesting.  I've been wondering when Roon would support it, mostly because of my Prime membership. 

For me a service has to be supported by Roon for me to really get into it.

Tidal 's marketing is pop, but it's catalog is far bigger than that.

Now that I know the catalog of music there isn't all that I can relax about it.
Tidal HiFi didn't cut the "audiophile" mustard for me but it was fun to explore other music for a year.
From what I've read elsewhere, for Roon to integrate with a streaming service, the streaming service must regularly (daily?) run a custom interface to dump the metadata for all the content in their library, so Roon can make the required updates on their end.  In mid-2019 I read that Roon had eclipsed the 100,000 subscriber threshold.  The question I'd have is whether a huge company like Amazon would develop and support a custom interface for such a small number of subscribers (as only a subset of that 100,000 would opt for the Amazon subscription)?
