Hi, 

I have a bluesound vault 2 and Roon. I would like to understand how I can read my CDs (stored on my bluesound) directly in Roon. 

Is there a tutorial somewhere? It doesn't seem to be that easy. 

I understand that it's in shared network, but after that, I don't understand how I must create the network. What is the name of the bluesound network?

  Hello Antoine, 

  Roon and the Roon forums might be able to help you a little better with this, but from what I understand with Roon it treats the Vault as a NAS (which it technically is).

  So you should be able to point to the Vault's contents/ripped CDs as a Network Share, using the \\IP_ADDRESS\Music path (if a username is needed, use Guest (no password) ). 

  Regards,
  Sam R.

  I have tried with my IP address (IPv4) but it doesn't work. Any idea of what I could miss?

  Are you using the IP Address for the Vault from under Help > Diagnostics in the BluOS app?

  I appreciate this explanation. It took me a while to find it though, using up a full week of my free trial. It would be great if there was a true user's guide that walked you through this, without all the jargon. I'm fairly tech savvy  but I have found this audio setup has required more sleuthing than expected.
