Bad user interface, bad performance with large libraries on network storage
Over the past few years I have become a dedicated FLAC listener. I have also become a Mac user. I switched to Mac because I am a musician and was tired of fighting with Windows drivers to make my hardware work. However, there is one windoze app that I continue to use on my audiophile system and that is MediaMonkey. This is what I was used to working with for listening to music, and it works very, very well - on a PC. Due to the advertising and a couple of good reviews, I decided to try Fidelia on my Mac. Unlike most things Mac, I have had to fight to figure out Fidelias user interface. The sorting and viewing options in the library are so limited and out-dated as to make it virtually useless. The application takes forever to load - even when ensuring that the network drive has already been mounted. Updates few, far between, and do not contain any UI improvements. This leads one to believe that support tends to ignore you when you make suggestions to improve. While the sound quality is good, I cannot recomend this application to anyone as the functionality and useability is horrid. Stay away.
