amarra or pure music..?

Updating my previous post: the current version of PM (1.74) is much less glitchy than the initial release (as were the last several versions); the main thing I notice is that it sticks and I have to close and reopen if it's been idle for a while. I've always enjoyed the sound, and I now have about as few functional issues as other programs I use (MS word, anyone?).

FWIW, I find the many comments about what a hassle computer audio is a bit mystifying. I'm not tech savvy at all, and while I've not invested the time needed to push the envelope like people such as Steve, I've invested very little time in troubleshooting my MACbook/PM/Lacie/Perfectwave set up.

Likewise, I have the PM 1.74 and find it easy to use - even for me. I have not experienced the glitches that some have mentioned above. Love the sound and the fact that it tied in seamlessly with the iTunes library, artwork, etc. no disruptions there at all. I wouldn't go back.

Like Jdoris I am no computer guru by any stretch but have managed the learning curve and much prefer the Mac approach to music vs. the CDP. Interesting thread.

Hi Tvad,

the party I meant was the one financed with the cash for selling the CDP. Hopefully sold in time for it to be a real good party rather than a burger and fries!

I am very much a computer illiterate. However, I've managed to be using a computer based system as my primary source for going on 4 years now. It's not like it's without its hassles. There are occasional problems. But I find that Google works wonders. I just type in whatever problem I'm having (e.g. iTunes can't find my music library) and there is a whole world of trouble shooting forums that has invariably been able to rescue me. I admit that I have a gnawing fear that something catastrophic will happen that causes me to loose my entire music library (in spite of dutiful backup procedures). But can put that anxiety aside when I listen to the results. BTW, have only heard PM on my system, and it's quite a sonic improvement over iTunes. I agree with other comments that the interface is dorky.
