Considering picking up a Poly for use mostly AirPlaying to it from Spotify. If I'm traveling, how would I go about doing this off wifi? Does the bluetooth work decently at all?

Bluetooth for me has been flawless it has worked constantly and without any drops or network loss

Please understand we have shipped 4,000 units already most customer are very happy. We always knew we would have to update the operating system software when we received a large sample of feed back from customers with the huge world wide variation of Routers and WiFi systems that are out there. Note most problem attributed to Poly are System and WiFi speed issues those that we have identified as our own have been and will continue to be fixed. We are not a large company like Sony or Apple with unlimited resources and this is the only way that we a small british company can bring this very advanced product to market being capable of interfacing with everything in the way that it can. It’s not trivial to do what we are doing our hardware is fixed and brilliant. Our software is working well now and is evolving rapidly to be unique and ultimate superb. So please bare with us!

There's obviously room for leeway, to a degree. But when the entire user-base is nothing more than beta testers, it's a pretty clear sign that you didn't do things right, and you're still not caught up. Maybe you need to bring in more software/firmware help or outsource it? I really want to grab one of these, but at this pace it feels like it might be Q2-2018 before it's functioning as originally described.

We all understand the situation you're in, given the task at hand and the workforce you have, but that doesn't mean it's in any way excusable or acceptable. Especially when it comes to a product that was released as a "fully functioning, finished unit".

I respect your company and your brand, but each time there's an obviously disingenuous reply from Chord that tries to push some of the blame onto users/networks/outside equipment, I lose a bit of that respect.

The Go-figure app will remove the need to use any third party app for browsing and playing music on the SD card.

Will it seamlessly play all file types ? I want aiff. Will it be gapless?

How is Poly working with UniFi Access Point handoff currently?

How is Poly working with UniFi Access Point hand-off currently?

Cant speak about hand-offs etc, but its connects and seems to stay connected to my APACPro's, but I cannot get the actual Poly to stream of its own SD card properly (not even on my Wi-Fi), and it also stops after a few minutes using Jriver MC21, streaming to it from my wired desktop, going to setup a RaspPi and try streaming from MC21, that maybe a while of as I'm busy.

Not given up all hope yet, still believe in it, sure it will be rock steady.

Good to know. I legit only want one for AirPlay, mostly. I don't even own music anymore (crazy, I know). I just hate all the wires from my phone to the Mojo. So bulky.

I was starting to think I was the only person this was the case for! I use android but I stopped buying albums a few years ago to save some money. I just want poly to show up as an available playback device in Tidal, Spotify, etc.

Exactly, and I don't like DAPs because I love my iPhone, and I don't want to manage two separate devices.

As of now, does it not show up as a playback device in Spotify / Tidal? What's the general consensus on this use case?

I enjoy having a separate dap for certain use cases. I always take one to the gym so I can leave my phone in the car to avoid distraction.

As of now, no. Not on android at least. Matt did mention that they are working with Google on making this happen tho.

I am guessing with AirPlay it should work as intended?

Mine worked fine on Airplay - when I could get it to switch on.

 

[pfurey89]

Jeez. It seems there are still a lot of usability issues. I really really want to buy, but at the price they're asking, I could just buy a DAP that would sound similar....

Don't rate a gadget on a thread where mostly problems gets discussed! If in doubt and not in a hurry: Stay on the sidelines and look how things will progress over time and buy when you think it's time to. If you don't have a mojo or don't have use cases that resonate with the mojopoly combo then maybe another DAP might be better suited.
