Xivero will close down

[#Yoda#]

Xivero.com, an innovative software developer for music and HiFi related software to analyze and improve music files like the widely-used music analysis tool MusicScope will shut down end of November. If you already own some of their software, you should send them a notice to get an activation free package. https://www.xivero.com

Too bad. I hope the software survives for a while the future MacOs updates. 

For this reason I have activation free licenses for Mac and Windows, but even this would not protect me from the fact the MusicScope will be out of time one day.

I doubt that the provenance and HiRes fake issue will be obsolete within the near future after I notice a significant increase of fakes in newer publications, even in the genres Classical and Jazz, what had been rather unusual in the past.

Therefore I hope that there will be a similar "easy to use" analysis tool being available not too far away in the future.

By experience I have very limited confident in the very most download stores and streaming providers to protect their customers from upsampled content, even HRA is not faultless. As long as real provenance is not given, it is helpful to have a tool to ensure the promised quality of a downloaded and perhaps a streamed audio file. My hearing is still a quite reliable detector but finally not an accepted source for proven complaints.
