Audirvana Plus 3.5

[pdvm]

I like the sound of 3.5, but I don't like the new interface at all. Look at all the real estate in the older version. You could actually read the whole title of a track.

 

Now look at the new thing. How much less information is visible. Why does everything need to take so much space? Why is there a 'cover flow' thingy right where track information should be? Why are the 'hidden' play/favorite/more options buttons taking up almost a quarter of the remaining horizontal space, where, again, track information should be visible? What's playing? I guess there's a 1-by-1 inch box in the lower left corner where, if you concentrate for 30 seconds, you can decipher the full title of a track, as it scrolls by. Why are all the play/next/stop buttons a different size?

I love Audirvana, but I don't like this Spotify-like UI at all. Please, Damien, don't turn it into Spotify.

Also, I'd like to report that version 3.5.7 crashes a lot, usually when I press the stop button or try to play another album when something is already playing.

 

My macbook is a retina 13inch late 2013 with 4GB RAM running macOS 10.14.4, no other programs save Safari running simultaneously with A+.

 A 24" monitor feels insufficient, I can just imagine how it is on a 13" MacBook screen. Merci!

 

 

It's cramped. Very, very cramped.

It also happens to me that after a few tracks it stops 8 seconds from the end and I have to manually advance the next track.

 

This still happens quite often to me, as well. Today it happened a few times while streaming. Both with short (20 sec) and long (9 min) tracks.  I'll try and find out if it also happens with local files. I'm on version 3.5.11

When I'm experiencing the ~9sec stop I can replay the track with the same result again and again. If I move on to the second track its often there, too.  If I shut down and reboot its gone.

 

Exactly my experience. If you then try to 'click into' the last 8 seconds on the progress bar, it won't play. I use a late 2013 macbook pro.

I am happy to report that since the 3.5.16 update, the problem with some tracks stopping 8 seconds before the end has not occurred. Many thanks to Damien, for solving this!
