Amarra - anyone using it?
I'm baffled by the problems Amarra has with library management. Foobar, which is a free download, has had excellent library management for a dozen years if not longer. Amarra, which soaks their customers every year or more for another $50 or $100 bucks or whatever, is a total train wreck with...- GungaDin

Amarra - anyone using it?
Amarra is the most frustrating software I've ever used and I remember the days of Windows 3 and other “primitive” software. Absolutely nothing is easy or smooth with Amarra. I recently put a new SSD in the Mac mini I use with Amarra and, following the instructions to the letter, have not been...- GungaDin

Music player for OSX
I like Vox. https://vox.rocks If you don't mind paying, Amarra has very good sound quality. Amarra 3 is dated and clumsy but they're releasing a greatly updated Amarra 4 some time in the next couple of months. http://www.sonicstudio.com/amarra/index.php Their Amarra sQ+ for streaming...- GungaDin

ALAC to AIFF
Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) was developed by Apple. It's not specific to any particular operating system but has mostly been used with Macs since Apple was the originator. It's true they are, like WAV files, not compressed. Their biggest advantage over WAV files is that AIFF files...- GungaDin

Windows 10 has better sound quality than Windows 7! (On my computer; not necessarily yours.)
I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and definitely noticed a marked improvement. So much so that i didn't feel a need to use Fidelizer anymore. Fidelizer probably would still help but I don't feel as much need for it. My main music machines are Macs with Amarra so I don't spend a lot of time...- GungaDin

Bughead Emperor = virus...Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]
Thank you for checking it out. Yes, I ran it through Malware Malbytes and also the site you listed and it looks clean. I'm not sure if I should delete this thread or leave it up for anyone else who gets a false positive.- GungaDin

Bughead Emperor = virus...Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]
I read a few good reviews of the Bughead Emperor music player so I started to download the 32-bit version from the developer's website: http://oryaaaaa.world.coocan.jp/bughead/index.html My Avast antivirus stopped the download with an alert stating that the download contained the Win32:Evo-gen...- GungaDin

CanOpener?
I bought this and thought I'd give a quick try out. I've been listening to music through it for about an hour and a half now. I'm pleasantly surprised by how great it sounds. This is the best, most listenable crossfeed I've used. I'm not some super duper expert on crossfeed but I've tried...- GungaDin

Amarra - anyone using it?
Is iTunes radio playable through the Amarra engine? I'm a new Amarra user and I'd asumed it would be but it won't play unless I disable Amarra's engine and let the iTunes engine handle iTunes radio play. Rather disappointing.- GungaDin

"Audiophile" - music player for iPad
http://audiophileapp.com/ I'm surprised there are no threads on this player because it sounds quite good, it plays flac and wav files, and it's free. I don't use any of the "sound enhancements" like EQ or any of that and, as is, I think the sound quality is excellent. The playlist works...- GungaDin

How do you do this? I couldn't find sample rate controls in the Vox player or in the Mac OS.- GungaDin

Jazz Recommendations from this Century
I used to find out about all kinds of great newer musicians by listening to an online station called Barcelona Jazz Radio but, unfortunately, they seem to have gone kaput. http://www.barcelonajazzradio.com/ A lot of the best, most listenable jazz comes out of Europe. I've always liked the... -
Best classical recordings...ever!
Atomic Records' classical vinyl is in the back right corner of the store. Some in the bins up top and more on the lower shelf. -
Best classical recordings...ever!
Eh...not really true. Amoeba Music and Atomic Records in Burbank charge anywhere between .50 cents and $10 or even $20 bucks depending on desirability and condition. Thrift stores aren't really in the music business so they're a different story.
