I just noticed Chris posted this purchased the day it was announced. I apologize for not looking further on this site before posting the link.

Apple buys classical music streaming service Primephonic

Another Mac audio metadata tagger I think worth exploring is Jaikoz by JThink.

I love IDAGIO's search paradigm as well.

Free exchange of opinion and genuine open discussion can only happen in an atmosphere of respect and civility. Not sad, but true.

I disagree. Moving a post to what is deemed to be a more appropriate category is an organizational act, not suppression (censorship).

I agree.

When is being snarky ever necessary?

If I have gleaned anything from this site, it's this: sound quality is in the ear/mind of the beholder. Jesus is wise to not go there.

Thanks for the update.

I agree. I have more classical music than any other genre, and my jazz collection comprises my second largest genre. You are much more knowledgable about classical music than I. The structure of Idagio allows me to not only find music of my choice, but also serves as a pedagogical tool. I have bit the bullet, and subscribe to both Qobuz and Idagio. Not ideal, but Idagio is helping me to learn more about the vast world of classical music. Qobuz allows one to conveniently choose a specific genre. Maybe Qobuz could develop a schema tailored to the requisite metadata parameters of classical music which would be evoked after one chose the Classical genre. Wishful thinking, I know!

Thank you for the info about Roon's treatment of classical music. I have spent more time than I enjoy organizing my classical music, so I have been hesitant to pass the metadata on to Roon due to concerns about not liking the results.
