Is it used for listening to music you do not own? - Only if you have a subscription to the Tidal service.
Is the metadata information about music you do own? - Yes, it scans your music library and gathers metadata based on your collection.
If I do not have a digital music library in a server, does Roon do anything for me? - Only if you subscribe to Tidal and use their library.
Roon will run on just about any recent PC or Mac. Performance and quality of experience will depend on the size of your music collection and the performance of your hardware. Check out this comment for the nitty grity details.

The "best" part is usually this: you can sign up online but to cancel you must call some phone number! That way you get signed up to sit through waiting to talk to someone, then another sales pitch, and then after half hour wasted maybe you get them to disconnect it.From what I see in the above posts, I'll pass.
The "free trial" sounds like 14 free days and then they bill you when you forget to tell them you only wanted to try it out and decided you didn't want it after the second free day.
Sounds like a rip-off.
If the free trial is 14 days, the service should just stop after that time until they get a credit card.
One of the great scams in recent years is to give a long enough free trial period so you forget about it and then they start to bill you on a repeating basis even though you don't want the service.
