When you first install Roon, you'll set up your Roon Server, which acts as the central hub for Roon in your home. Whether it's close to where you listen to music or located elsewhere in the house, the server is usually not convenient for selecting and navigating your music. This is especially true if you're using Roon in multiple rooms or with networked audio devices. After setting up your Roon Server, you'll need to download and install Roon or the Roon app (mobile) on a remote device to navigate and experience Roon. 

Wherever you listen to music, Roon gives you the freedom to browse your collection using a variety of different devices, whether that's a computer, tablet, or phone. You'll be running Roon on a remote device in all these cases. Learn more about oursoftware packages here. 

Install Roon on any supported devices you want to use as a remote to navigate Roon, including Macs or Windows computers. For mobile devices and tablets, you can download the Roon app from the app store tied to the respective device.

When setting up Roon to run as a remote on Windows or OS X/macOS, you'll first need to find your Roon Server:

Finally, connect to your Server and you're all set! Now you can browse your music and play to any Roon zone on your network.

If your Remote is having trouble connecting, there are some troubleshooting tips here. You might also want more information about system requirements. You can find those:
