Pono is Finished

--- Quote from: JimH on March 06, 2017, 10:56:58 am ---Neil Young made a great attempt, but the scope of the effort was beyond his means. I believe that his manager, Elliot Roberts, wisely kept him from over-extending himself personally. Well done to both.
The team did a good job in spite of the problems.
I'm going to declare Pono done now. I don't think Neil can bring himself to say this, but it's clear.
Why Pono Didn't Work
The hardware player needed a version 2 and it didn't happen.
The software player, PonoMusic World, timed out on December 31, 2016. It was based on JRiver Media Center, and we would have been happy to continue serving, but Pono was unable or unwilling to pay what they had agreed.
Since Christmas, there have been two broken beta releases of the PonoMusic Vault, their replacement software player.
Communication about their plans has stopped.
Hardware service seems to have stopped.
Pono isn't answering their phone or their e-mail.
It's over. It's time to call it as it is.

Sorry to hear that JRiver had to take a hit because Pono players didn't do well.
This is for Jim H if he is still around if he is not around any more this is for anyone that knows about Pono and Pono Music World. I have a Pono Player that I bought way back when. I used it mainly when I traveled and didn't really use Pono Music World. But now that I am retired and have started playing with some of my old toys I have a question. Does anyone know how to add songs to "Revealer"? Is it possible to get an old version of Pono Music World that would do that?
Thanks,
