JUNE
2020 ONLINE MEETING NOTICE
TIME: Sunday, JUNE
21, 7:00 PM Eastern Time
PLACE: a Zoom Video
Conference
FEATURED GUEST: Ted
Brewer, member of the Connecticut
Audio Society
TOPIC: Review the ROON
Digital Music Management System
According to Wikipedia,
the list of on-line music servers has grown
swiftly. Apple’s online business of selling
audio files over the internet on a per-song
or subscription basis is the current sales
leader. The category of music services can
be differentiated into multiple types. Some
are over the internet, cloud based, while
others are streamed over the internet. Some
online music stores also sell recorded speech
files, such as podcasts and video files of
movies. Some specialize in the type of music
available, Rock, Classical, Country and others.
Ted Brewer, our guest
lecturer, will show us how the Roon Digital
Music Management System seamlessly integrates
music from some of these streaming services
with music from our personal libraries. In
addition, Ted will show us how Roon:
- accesses rich
metadata to provide a wealth of information
about artists, composers, and albums
- supports hi-res
synced or parallel group playback in almost
any file format to a range of devices
- leverages the
power of digital signal processing for equalization,
room correction, sample rate conversion,
and volume leveling
- provides an intuitive
and consistent interface for control of
a range of system functions via computer,
smartphone, or tablet
- exposes users
to new music across a range of genres based
on personalized listening habits
See below for dial-in
instructions for the Zoom meeting. If you
do not have a computer or smart phone/tablet,
you can just dial one of the numbers and join
for audio only; use your touch tone dialer
to enter the meeting number and password when
prompted.
