--- Quote from: channel-1 on November 17, 2014, 04:17:12 pm ---When I finish transferring music from the Music Library to Pono, I click on the option that says "Eject" in the transfer window -- i.e. the section in the side bar where you drag and drop file and where the transfer progress indicator appears.
After Ejecting the device in this way I disconnect the Pono Player from USB, but the OS informs me that it has not been
ejected.

Looking at the drives mounted in the Finder, I see that the Pono Device is ejected by PMW20. It's the microSD card which doesn't get ejected, so when I unplug the player I think its the microSD card OS is complaining about.

I had my first crash with PMW20 and used Apple's crash reporter to report. I also kept the error log if you should need it.
The Pono Player was plugged in and and I was beginning to transfer music. The time estimate for one album was given as 58 minutes and so decided to hit Cancel. The transfer cancelled, and then I selected Eject from the ‘action window’. When I then unplugged the player, the OS advised, via two notifications, that I had failed to eject the device(s). Then, PMW20 crashed with this error (excerpt):
Crashed Thread: 22
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)

Edit: I restarted PMW20 and then tried this again. It's working this time and time estimate is given as 10 minutes. One thing I did notice is that when I plug in the player it immediately asks if I want to transfer music. I hit "Yes" right away and then clicked "Sync Handheld" in PMW20 -- which at first said that no handheld was connected. The after a few seconds the Transfer window (action window?) appeared and I started over again. So perhaps the first time around I didn't establish a good communication between player and PMW20? Or perhaps, what happens is that the player immediately prompts for music transfer, but the OS hasn't had time to mount the drive(s)...

After I hit "Done" (after transferring music to player) it doesn't seem like I can eject the pono player from PMW20.
I navigate to "PonoPlayer, Drives, and Devices and select PonoPlayer (/Volumes/PONOPLAYER) on the side bar. And then I click "Eject" in the main pane on the right hand side. But player does not eject.
I need to eject player from within PMW20 before I click "Done" on the Player? I guess that's it....
channel-1:
Well, I'm not using half of what is in PMW20; I discover new features everyday. Soon I will need to read the manual and start using the help files. :-)
My biggest daily problem, now that I'm used to the overall flow of the UI, is managing the microSD card. For example, how do I create a playlist that draws both from the pono player's main memory as well as from the microSD card? Boggled by this.

I cancelled a transfer from PMW20 to the pono player and then PMW20 exited with this error.
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: EXC_I386_GPFLT
I sent error via Apple crash reporter but saved the complete error log if you'd like to have it.
Along with Crash, OSX reported that PonoPlayer was disconnected without ejecting. It then gave me the
option to Force Eject, but advised that an application was still using it. No idea if this was referring to
PMW20 or not... but can't think of any other application (other than Finder) that would be accessing it.
Another dialog pops up and says, "Are you sure you want to eject PonoPlayer?" and "Ejecting the disk might cause problems with the disk or the information on it." But at this point I just confirm the Force Eject ... not sure what
else to do.
