Right...
Imedian software is so horrifically bad. Have the people who make it not noticed that every topic in the user forum is related to constant relentless problems with Imedian? I have had nothing but problems with it. I am forced to use it on my silverstone GD02 mt media center. I bought this particular case as I wanted a dedicated music system where I could backup all my music in lossless format for what i thought would be the perfect listening experience.
Here are a list of SOME of my problems with Imedian:
1.the programme does not recognise tags properly. As a classical musician I listen to alot of classical music...for example the well tempered clavier by j.S Bach..I have used tag editors to meticulously edit each track..including the order I wish them to be played. I have used many different formats such as 1,2,3,4 or 01,02,03,04 or 001,002,003,004...you get the idea...anyway for some unknown reason the order of the tracks is scrambled..so i might be listening to the c major prelude one minute, hoping to hear the fugue that comes straight after..instead I am launched to the D minor prelude. Or perhaps I might listen to a Beethoven symphony...I might hear the last movement at the beginning and the middle movement at the end..Things like this become VERY frustrating...especially as there is no logical reason as to why this is happeneing..and yes, I have gone into the settings and experimented with different ways of displaying the tags...it still doesnt fix this problem. The tags all appear fine when using windows media center or any other third party media center.:mad:
2. This is particularly annoying:
Perhaps I am browsing through my albums..I might listen to a bit of Rachmaninov and then decide to change to listen to a bit of radiohead...When moving back through the menus, either with the remote of the incredibly poor quality touchscreen (don't get me started on that one), it takes me back to all albums under "A"...this is annoying as both Rachmaninov and Radiohead come under "R" in the alphabet...I then have to scroll down through my entire music collection from A through to R just to find my desired album. If i had have known it would be this user unfriendly i would have stuck with CD's!:confused::mad::eek:
3. The drivers for the touchscreen seem very poor. I am locked into using Imedian as the touchscreen hardly recognises where my finger actually makes contact.I have callibrated it of course...the problem comes from when you actually let og of the touch screen in mouse mode..the cursor might randomly jump over to the other side of the screen. So i am forced to use imedian with its big buttons and no gesture support.
These are a few of my main problems...I have spent so much money on a system I dont use as its easier to use spotify or just my main pc as my hifi..perhaps if you could listen to what your customers actually want you could be SSOOOO successful..until you do, you will always be a second rate company that fails it's customers.
I am not expecting a reply to this post but I would be very grateful if you could take t ime to reply
