Migration from Pono Music Vault?
sswitzer61:
Forgive me, in that I'm new to the forum, but I'm trying desperately to get out from under the crushing inadequacy of Pono Music Vault. It's so horrific that I can't even talk about it - however, in the transition, I saw a coupon code to come to JRiver that expired in January. Is there a code for us poor folks that were a little late to realize that PVV is going nowhere rapidly and is dead as far as I'm concerned. I think it's been nearly a year, and you simply can't keep saying "Under Construction." I need a tool that will playing FLAC files in hi-res and the Vault can't hang. I like JRiver and I'd like to purchase a license that covers my PC and Mac, but $70 is a little steep for me right now. Any codes out there for us desperate folks? Thanks in advance for any info and your patience with me if this is not the right place to ask this! Scott

With all due respect to your reply, I noticed an extremely loud silence from any administrator or anyone of any authority. I take it that no one wants any part of Pono any longer and us folks who made the investment are just sort of stuck with it. It's highly disappointing from a couple of different points, but whatever...you get what you pay for. I guess Neil should hire the same folks who touted Pono to sell other such products that are like "vaporware." He had me sold - I thought they were going to make good on their promise (anyone remember "The 'Promise' of Pono?"). It lasted less than a year. We can't even get a serviceable music player. I'm loathe to spend even more money on a product that I'm not sure is going to last. But that's the way things work - I give JRiver more money and then I guess we'll see.

The coupon offer had a limited life. I'm sorry that you missed it. zep gave the correct prices if you only need JRiver on one OS.

I wouldn't take the responses you got here in that way. Pono is still a neat player. It has a really incredible DAC for a mobile product. The user interface is decent and it holds lots of lossless music. JRiver MC is arguably the best media player and media manager ever invented. Coupling the two together gives you a really nice platform both for at home listening and managing and listening to your Pono.
The price of MC is quite reasonable and you get a lot for your money. For example, a lot of people don't know that MC allows you to install it on all the computers you own, within reason. I have MC installed on only 2 computers, but if I had 4, I could install it on all 4 of them. All for the price of a single license. The license is forever, so it's not yearly, doesn't expire, etc.
If you've already used Pono Music World a lot, then the full MC will look pretty familiar to you and you should be up and running in no time.
Good luck.
Brian.
