![]() While you’re at it, please explain how on earth big, rectangular, wasted, blurred blobs of color, 1% occupied by text, serve ANYONE better than a simple column browser?! If Apple caved to user base pressure to restore it in iTunes, there’s a pretty good chance it’s hard to do better, when navigating a large, local library. Here’s a crazy idea: If the last version of the software that worked really well on Apple devices and didn’t require insane compromises and sacrifice functionality, in order to work on both Apple and Windows platforms, was the one that you made, prior to trying to become Windows-compatible, why on earth not just make completely different Apple and Windows versions?Īs always, I defy anyone who has used both version 3.2.20 and anything that has come since to tell me what makes either the 3.5 interface, which was laughably amateurish, or the Štûdïø interface, more functional than the 3.2 iTunes-style interface. Either that, or Audirvana is a side hustle for them. Apparently, they only make software to make themselves happy and hope that maybe they can sucker some people into paying for their output, along the way. From the godawful UX and lack of any meaningful changes, to address yearslong, persistent issues, that is all I can assume. I guess the developers must be independently wealthy and not have to care about whether anything they produce attracts and retains a paying user base. Dead right, think, if the last usable, well-reviewed version of a product was one released five years ago, prior to a slew of unrequested, unnecessary, cumbersome changes, it would be cause for some serious introspection, for those who make it. Until then, good luck growing your user base with glitchy software and issues that go unresolved for years! Maybe I’ll give it another shot on the next attempt. Let me know when you update this mess again. Thanks for the free trial, team Åûdįrvāńä. Life is too short to suffer with idiotic issues, caused by a music player that doesn’t play music. Version 3.2.20, last updated in 2018, still has a column browser and still works with the MicroRendu, free of issue. The only thing that will be different is that this time, I will simply bow out now, rather than go through a months-long, time-wasting back-and-forth with Support, futilely hoping that these people are able to get it together and make software that actually works. Once again, playback stopped and the steamer crashed, less than two seconds into the second track. Once again, I attempted to play a few CD-resolution files, via my MicroRendu. Truly maddening, just from a basic UI/ user experience perspective, and certainly devoid of any signs of improvement, over the previous version. For some added amusement, this version came with the new feature of an interface issue, where, after viewing the tracks on any given album, the All Albums section, of the selected artist’s music, in my local library, became scrambled with all the streaming “suggestions”, at the bottom of the page, when I attempted to use the “back” button, and there was no way to resolve that issue, except to go further back, to the artist’s main page, and one again select “See All”, under Local Albums. Once again, useless rectangles of blurred colors occupied the space that could otherwise be used for a column browser. Once again, it was difficult to browse my local library and find albums and tracks, due to the fact that, when I view an artist’s albums, there seems to be no way to alphabetize them. Just make sure the request is in an appropriate tone…….Well, I decided to download version 2.2.2 for yet another free trial, to see if any of the issues that prevented me from being able to use the software during my first trial had been resolved. Up to them whether they provide it but I am sure they have old versions in a server archive or backup. If you can’t access the old MacBook then a request to Audirvana for a DMG of 3.2.2 is in order. overwriting the new file created by Audirvana when first opened. Obviously you will need to copy the old database file if you want to retain your old data (library, metadata edits, playlists etc) and install on the replacement Mac in the folder created by Audirvana. (This works for 3.5 and for all newer versions so I would expect it to be the case for 3.2.2.). If you can still boot the old MacBook copy the Audirvana 3.2.2 app from the applications folder to a back up disk and then across to the applications folder on the replacement. dmg file (a compressed disk image file similar to a zip file on windows) and once opened the app was just copied to the applications folder. As far as I can recall the old versions of Audirvana came as a.
