Hopstretch Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 In the about box, it says: Special Thanks to: Charles Hansen J. Gordon Rankin Clarke Greene I'd suspect Ayre knows about this. Well that's all hoopy then, frood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 For anyone with an HDCD DAC can you check if these programs are out putting a bit perfect signal with an HDCD encoded CD? Just played few of my HDCD CDs through AyreWave player and HDCD indicator lights up on my DAC-1100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbut Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 i tried out AyreWave a bit ago. it sound exactly like Cog, to me, but the fact that it takes complete control of the audio output is a godsend. no more loud porn noises late at night, when i'm listening to music and perusing dirty movies Excellent point! They should put that in a "testimonial" on the web site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K3cT Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Any Windows-friendly version available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp11801 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 finally got my library loaded, initial impressions are good but I'll have to do a bit of a comp between this, amarra and pure vinyl. While I get that I am in the minority here I have heard pretty big differences between computer audio players and recorders. Maybe it is wishful thinking or the power of the mind but in a previous session with itunes vs songbird itunes was much better and I wanted to like songbird. So far ayreware is great and has stopped imploding on start up with my library. I did manage to get my 31,000 song library loaded, started it around 11pm last night with the pinwheel of frustration going full steam but by 7am it was gone and my music had appeared.

Hmm, maybe I'll try uploading my library again before I go to bed tonight. Right now, I keep adding whatever I want to listen (and removing what I was listening before).

Salt Peanuts Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I've stopped using the player as it kept getting my machine stuck in pinwheel of death on intermittent basis even when I was only adding an album or two at a time. It may just be my machines but I'll just go back to using Cog/iTunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbut Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yeah, I'd have to say "not ready for prime time" on this one for now. I thought it sounded pretty good but very buggy. Not too surprising given it's not much more than a beta release at this point. I'll give it another try on down the line. I still find the sound of Pure Music better and for the most part, Amara is better still but much more money. It would be nice if PM locked in hog mode like the Ayrewave does on launch.

CarlSeibert Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Yeah, I'd have to say "not ready for prime time" on this one for now. I thought it sounded pretty good but very buggy. . That makes me feel better about it not wanting to run on my ancient PPC machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 It sounds like Cog was similar to Foobar for Mac, wasn't it? I'd love having that. I've got many old rips made on cue + img which are a pita to convert into ALAC to use them on Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 No worries then If AyreWave adds those features, I'll try it soon. TBH haven't switched on the MBP (my only Mac) for a couple of months. Got tired of iTunes and converting into ALAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I like Cog. Especially because it doesn't implode on me (or take forever and half to open like iTunes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 max does a pretty good job of converting flac cue setups to itunes friendly album based solutions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padam Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Anybody compared it to other music players? I am thinking of setting up a Mac OS X just to be able to use it or other Mac-based players if it clearly improves on SQ. As I read I might need another harddrive as well for an optimal clean install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Until they fix all the issues and it's actually usable/stable, I wouldn't bother with it. I gave it another shot few days ago but it still wouldn't work and kept crashing my computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
