I have no crashes with Audirvana 2.5.3 and El Capitan 10.11.5. I am using the optical output to feed my DAC. A.

My understanding is that if you press and hold the pause button in the iOS app, that will perform a "stop" action for you. A.

I do not think you were. The title of the article is not accurate. Apple has confirmed that they have received reports of music deletion. They are, as of this date, unable to reproduce the problem. In spite of that, they will try to address it with changes to iTunes. There is no smoking gun here. A.

If the breakout of iBooks is any indication, we are not going to be pleased with the results of your suggestion. (iTunes had true ebook management (editing of metadata, etc.) but iBooks is essentially a read-only viewer presumably intended for iTunes Store content). A.

Just as an FYI, Serenity at iMore has a different take: No, Apple Music is not deleting tracks off your hard drive Personally, I used iTunes for over a decade and iTunes Match since it came out. It never touched my files without my direct involvement. The last modified dates on my music tracks are, by and large, the dates they were originally copied to the hard drive - over ten years ago. A.

The ability to do this went away with El Capitan (OS X 10.11). The only workaround that I know of is to set the system sound output to your Airplay device, at which point the OS will tell A+ about it. It is only a temporary fix. Why Apple did this remains a mystery, at least to me. A.

I am continually impressed at how people can completely and utterly miss the point of a post, and go on to demonstrate that lack of understanding with a rant like yours. A.

Calling half a billion people stupid is not really a great way to start a thread. Besides, it is not stupid: it is a natural translation from written words to numbers. Personally, I use the ISO date format yyyymmdd. Using ddmmyy is not acceptable, if only because of its ambiguity - you do not know if someone is using that or mmddyy (most of the time, anyway). See: https://xkcd.com/1179/ A.

And at the risk of beating a dead horse - browser-specific requirements? In 2016? A. (I think this is all off-topic re: Audirvana, but I figure we are due for a new thread any second now)

I was using the Safari tech preview, clicking the play button on a music page. In this day and age, if a site requires Flash, I go elsewhere. A.

I am listening to Tidal right now (with Audirvana) , everything works very nicely. While signing up on Tidal's web site though, I tried to play some music and got a "please install Adobe Flash Player" error and my reaction was 'wow, what planet are these people on?' (or if you prefer, 'what century are these people in?'). A.

It's a locally-attached external Thunderbolt drive. I dragged and dropped a folder containing a movie soundtrack into my music folder. I did not change the dates. Audirvana was not running at the time - perhaps my example is a case that is not expected to be detected? A.

Same. It looks like it is syncing (I see the blue bar) but nothing is ever added. I just manually sync once in a while. A.

This update appears to solve a dropout issue I had with Audirvana and JRiver. El Capitan had a couple of audio issues for me, both have been addressed now. A.

At the risk of angering the fickle Fates, I will say that this update has fixed my dropout problem. A.
