So, I ask again, are there plans for future version of the great Vortexbox software and if so can we get some idea as to an actual timeline? If the product has reached the end of the line I would rather know than continuing to wait for a new version that will never come.
Michael was aware of the Edge issue and I understand it is fixed in newer version of LMS however I had to switch to Google Chrome to continue to use the Vortexbox version of LMS.Īndrew indicated a year or more ago that new updates would come but since than no further information has surfaced. I see that Andrew has a unreleased version of Vortexbox based on Fedora 25 that has a copy of LMS 7.1 dated 12/07/18 but again was never released.īesides any Fedora security updates we are missing, the Vortexbox 23 version of LMS no longer works correctly with Microsoft Edge browser and I am sure there are other problems with the versions we are using. Version 30 would make the version that Vortexbox used 7 generations old.Īlso, Vortexbox 23 uses a copy of Logitech's LMS 7.1 software dated 04/04/18 and Logitech (Michael) is currently working with LMS version 7.2 which has many updates over 7.1. The current release of Fedora is version 29 released on 10-30-18 and we are approaching version 30 scheduled to be released on or about 4-30-19. It's 99% as easy as ripping a CD.I guess a direct question for Andrew: Are there still plans for further updates to the Vortexbox software? The current version based on Fedora 23 was released in November of 2015 and Andrew stated he updates every 4th or 5th release which would have been either Fedora 27 (released 11-14-17) or Fedora 28 (released 5-1-18). Then I fire up the SACD ripping app on my computer, click Execute, and 15 minutes later the rip is done. I press eject, put in the SACD, then press Power (to close the drawer and put the unit to sleep). I have a Sony player I got for $30 shipped of eBay and I keep it behind a door in my computer desk and use it solely as a dedicated SACD ripper. though, they are arguably even easier than the others because you can use the "sleep method" (which will come up when you Google SACD ripping) to do SACD ripping with those machines without any need of a monitor, keyboard, or even the remote. But the cheapest and most plentiful ripping machines are the 2012(?) Sony Blu-Ray players - which in my experience also have the most complications and pitfalls when first setting them up for ripping. The Pioner BFD80/160 machines are nearly as easy.

Still, doing it with a PS3 or an Oppo 103 or 105 is pretty simple. SACDs are dead easy once you get the ripping equipment and software set up - but the set up is more difficult than the other formats because you can't use a computer optical drive and instead have to use a networked consumer game machine, SACD-capable Blu-Ray player, or universal disc player with special software on both the computer side and the player side. That said, I heartily echo the recommendation for DVD Audio Extractor, as it makes ripping DVDs and DVD-As trivially easy.īlu-Rays just require an additional step, with MakeMKV as noted above - the hardest part of ripping Blu-Ray Audio for me is that I do it so rarely I forget the workflow each time. So some days I just need a little help but, I don't need 70% of it, you can make this simpler, come on, I know you can.!Īll of these ripping issues are object lessons in the futility of DRM - there's always a way around it, and in the age of widespread broadband access all it takes is one person to rip a disc and it's out there. I'm a reasonably-trained media ex-professional, and even my eyes glaze over at the mere random inclusion of a term like UpnP or ASIO in an otherwise-benign sentence in the English language.
Just get us to a ToDoList relevant to each situation's different protocols, and bundle it up onto an e-book, or a website, or an idiot-proof format of some sort. And people wealthy enough to have a thousand SACD's (and two Blu-Ray Audios), perhaps have usually about 85% of the smarts to follow these complicated instructions to the letter - let alone the patience and understanding to get to all the "why" behind it all. Using a usb stick in an Infiniti is different from a NAS server hooked to an OPPO is different from the gapless-play issues from this roon to this JRiver, from-yadda-to-yadda. A simple recipe for SACD, one for Blu-Ray Audio, another for DVD-A.and easy-to-grok reasons why this guy may need a TOC file, and this guy needs a FLAC file, and which one needs a. Somebody needs to write the book on this process once and for all.
