Aurender Conductor V4 issues

Aurender is extremely glitchy, period.  There's an Aurender Facebook group and 50% or more of the posts are complaints.  I hope they figure out their software, because if they don't, it will sink the company. 

I recently had an issue with my streamer that prevented it from working at all.  I could not play any music through it (Qobuz, internal drive, and internet radio did not work).  I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, updated the streamer's software, cleared cache, rebooted the router, rebooted the streamer, you name it.  Two hours of my life were gone.  Nothing worked.  Finally, out of pure desperation, I did a factory restore of the streamer which brought it back to life.  It's frustrating, for sure.

There was also an issue with Vtuner in mid-December that supposedly effected everyone.  That's now sorted out, so I finally have full functionality.  I'm dreading the next time the app, the streamer, or Vtuner freaks out, because I know that it WILL happen again.

Aurender doesn't really listen to their customers. Running one of their streamers for 4 years and that's been my experience. 

Update: The V4 is working nicely for me. Looks like all the early quirks are ironed out. Seamless toggling between Queue, Album (view), Linear Notes, Credits. The favorite ❤️ function is much more responsive than V3.

@audphile1 Agile works, but you have to have really good management of it. I have recommended  to Aurender that they fire their product manager. I have been in IT for 30 plus years and can tell you it's not the process that's broken, it's the people they have. Totally incompetent.

V4 is garbage and until they stop breaking what already works, changing things that were fine to begin with, and stop adding things that no one is asking for, and to top it off, also adding broken 'improvements', I will not be recommending Aurender, and I have been a fan of their for years.

It's simply bad product and program management. Hopefully someone higher up in Aurender will finally see it and fix the real problem - people.

@deadhead1000 you understand my comment was sarcastic. They’re not unique in breaking things that work while implementing “improvements” and new features. It’s the reality of today’s world.
By the way, there were couple of updates to Conductor v4. It’s more or less stable now. I just installed their latest update and haven’t seen any major issues yet. I would not go as far as not recommending Aurender. I’ve seen much worse.
