Roon announces that it has added the Asian music streamer KKBOX to its ecosystem, good news for anyone living there!
KKBOX is the music streamer for East and Southeast Asia. That’s a huge area that includes Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. The music market there is not only large, but also fundamentally different from the western music world. In short: KKBOX serves a large crowd of music lovers in a darn interesting market. Roon has realized this too and thus integrated KKBOX into its music management system. Through KKBOX under Roon, listeners can access more than 40 million lossless tracks, with metadata in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English. In addition to Asian music, KKBOX also has an extensive collection of Western music on board, so you can go either way.
Enno Vandermeer, CEO and founder of Roon Labs articulates the collaboration with KKBOX as follows: “Our collaboration with KKBOX marks a significant and exciting milestone for Roon. Both companies have a shared dedication to music creators and audio integrity, which makes this an ideal partnership. We’re enthusiastic about offering a stellar streaming experience to KKBOX users while also enhancing the diversity and quality of our music selection for existing Roon subscribers.“
