Screwdriver

The crashing issue has been resolved as of the latest patch.

I'll never use iTunes.....Using the Qobuz app for streaming and JRiver for local files.

I am on the same build of Audirvana and Windows 10 and have sent @damien78 all requested files, logs etc.....I have uninstalled and wiped all remnants of Audirvana...folders, files and the registry. I have moved my music files to different disks, USB drives and NAS. Still crashes. Installed Audirvana on another account, same comp...same crash behavior. Even crashes if I only point to a single folder with a single music file. On top of that I have Qobuz and even that flashes like crazy requiring me to jump around in Qobuz to stop it. This whole experience is pissing me off as I am a paying customer and here I am with a useless product I paid good money for. And yeah, it works for you. But how many people give the trial a test and if fails for them, check out their support forum and see that this is a three month+ ongoing issue and move on? He needs to roll back to a version that did not have the issue, or allow those of us with the issue to use an earlier version until he figures it out. Instead....silence....dead silence.

A bunch of us are posting on the official Audirvana forum about it crashing on Windows at startup. Been going on for months with very little help from the Dev. Been unusable for me going on three months and have tried everything. Ether the dev does not care or doesn't have the skills set to fix it. Here is the thread. https://community.audirvana.com/t/audirvana-3-5-37-freezes-at-startup/15602

Welp, there goes my brain. Thanks!

I pay for Qobuz but just started a 30 day free with Tidal. If I search in Audirvana for a band, I only get Qobuz results…So, with both accounts active I am unable to search for music within Tidal, which makes Tidal absolutely useless. Or am I doing something wrong?

Well the database checks out OK....but sending you the file is probably not happening as my upload is 10Mbps at best and the database is 1.2GB. Also from my example above, Ace Frehley is listed as the artist...here is the meta shown in Audirvana. But will not show no matter how I sort the library. I can only find with a search and Ace Frehley is the only artist on this album. I'll try 3.5 and see what happens...

I have done that.....in fact if you look at my old posts, I did redo my entire collection for it to play well with Audirvana. Why does this work flawlessly in every program but Audirvana?

This is what drives me nuts. Where is the 3.5 beta? Don't see it on the site, the forums etc. I just wasted 10 minutes looking for it.

Looking at JRiver 24 which I have not used in awhile shows many missing artists that Audirvana does not show. Looking at the tags, I cannot see what would cause this. BTW, I am a database admin and do field compares for conversions for an insurance client management software. I take databases from companies that want to merge with our software and match/edit fields so the conversion is successful. Attached are screens from JRiver and Audirvana. You can see missing artists like Ace Frehley and Aretha Franklin. Both of which show up in a search, but not in any view I choose in the library. Here is a search for "Ace Frehley". He shows up in a search under "artists", but is not listed in the library when "album artist" is chosen. Tags are in line with artist that do show in the library. So the only way I can find Ace Frehley is through a search as he is nowhere in the library view. I am getting ready to dump Audirvana.....just not worth the hassle anymore.

Artist, Album Artist....does not matter. And the only Aimee Mann album with multiple artists is Magnolia and in one of my screens you can see the three versions with the different artists etc. Tags are clean and I run everything through Musicbrainz after a rip. In fact I added another artist earlier and had no issues. This is a random thing and if you look at my older posts, I had other issues like this. I have a few other Music Library programs like Music Bee, and JRiver 24 and both see and sort perfectly.

This is driving me nuts and is only an issue with Audirvana. I have zero issues in other music library software. No matter what I do, I cannot get Audirvana to see some artists. I can search and their music will show by artist, album etc. But none of their music can be found by just browsing alphabetically in library view. I have changed the sorts, deleted the library and did a re-scan etc. Nothing. And comparing music I can see correctly in the library view looks in the tags, I see it is identical except with a different artist. Attached are screens of the artist Aimee Mann and how the tags look in Audirvana. Why will this artist and others not appear in the library view?

Forget it....

After giving Damien grief about the initial release, Audirvana has become my #1 Audio player, meaning JRiver will not be getting a renewal this time around. With the bug fixes, and especially the addition of VST3 plugin support, sound quality and usability, it is now nearly perfect for what I wanted in a player. Anyhow.... HAPPY NEW YEARS to Damien and all the Audirvana users around the world. Always be open to new genres of music!
