RE: JPLAY compared to Roon

If you are confused, I don't think I can help b/c you know a lot more about this stuff than I do. But let me offer what I can. My understanding is that JPlay is a player/controller only (what I would call "front-end") and relies on a UPnP server like Minim, LMS, Plex, etc on the back-end. If I'm right, your comment about using Hysolid on the front-end doesn't parse. I think JPlay would replace Hysolid's UI and player but you would still be using the Hysolid engine. Or maybe we are using different terminologies.

Admittedly, I'm out of my lane here b/c I have little direct experience. Haven't tried JPlay or Hysolid so I'm just going on what I've read. I ran LMS for a while before I jumped on the Roon startup in 2015 and have never looked back. Way back when, trying to improve on iTunes, I experimented with Plex, Firefly, and something called Twonky, but that was back in the Aughts so no longer relevant.


. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .
