This feels rather backwards from how a publisher would normally do it: print to e-book to free. Once I stop writing new content, I may very well do a print version, too. Lastly, I also went with PDF, which has great support across most platforms. ePub is the format that Apple uses and was a format that I wanted to push the limits on-even if maybe just a little bit. It lacks a lot of control over formatting and was the lowest common denominator. Mobi is the format used on the Kindle and other e-ink readers. Knowing my preference, I decided to try and put together the e-book in different formats, since each format has its own pros and cons. And so I started down the path of converting the HTML content into other formats. However, an e-book could be created and updated over time. With my intention to add more content, a printed format just wasn't (and still isn't) a practical option. Right away, though, many people asked for the site in an e-book and even a printed format. However, I also released it with the intention of continually adding new content to it until I had reached a point where I had a "finished product".

After months of writing and not getting enough written, I released what I wrote as a web site. When I first started down the path of writing the SMACSS e-book, I had intended it to be either an e-book or a printed book. It has been an interesting experience and I thought I'd share a few random thoughts on how things have gone so far. OK, my reasons might be of absolutely no interest to you but for me at least that is why I would like to be able to use Roon to play my on-device music.So, yeah. If Roon could also play my locally stored files I wouldn’t need Apple Music at all so I save a bit of space on my Home Screen. Also, real estate for icons on the main iPhone screen that can be accessed immediately without swiping to another page is limited and I do also use Roon remote when at home to control headphone playback from my main Roon Core so I have both apps on my home screen. all the tracks on Hunky Dory have artistsort tag “Bowie, David” and albumsort “Bowie, David, 1971”. I have been doing the same as you, copying my music to my iPhone and playing it with the Apple Music app but that means that I have to go and edit in albumsort and artistsort tags on every track added e.g. With Roon I can just download or rip files and Roon’s options to sort artist by surname and then sort that artist’s albums by release date means I get exactly the sort order I want using the standard tags without going in and editing in any extra tags.

I’m fussy about how my music is sorted particularly when browsing albums which is mostly how I access it.

I use Apple Music for mobile and my hi res files are already on my phone.
