name or band name and had to tap the actual Search button in order to view results. The results are immediately
available as one types. I currently have 4,503 albums consisting of 56,441 tracks stored on the W20. Whether I'm
searching albums or the entire database of tracks the search results are immediate as I type. The same cannot
be said for most iPad applications in use by high end audio manufacturers.
Stability is critical. Without stability nothing else matters. An app that crashes or doesn't function deterministically
will only increase user frustration and possible embarrassment. In high end audio circles there is nothing worse
than giving a demonstration to friends or family with equipment that doesn't work. Most of us have been in that
situation. "Hey check out my new system. Oh wait, something isn't right. It should be working. I just had it
playing music before you arrived, honestly." Official release versions (non-beta) of the Aurender iPad application
are rock solid. If a feature decreases stability of the app during beta testing the Aurender team will perfect the
feature before release or the team won't release it to the public. Since I started using the Aurender iPad app in
2011, stability has been very good.
Capability without complexity is critical. An app must have most of the features users want but mustn't be overly
complex. What good is a professional digital audio workstation as a home music server? All the capabilities for
playback are there, but the level of complexity very high and the learning curve is way too steep. The Weiss
Engineering MAN301 network player has a long list of capabilities, but the user manual is 197 pages of required
reading. I was unable to use the MAN301 without reading the manual. The Aurender iPad application is very
capable and easy to use without instruction. Mastering all the ins and outs of the app requires a few quick tips
from someone in-the-know such as a dealer, but general use of 99% of the capabilities is easy and intuitive. The
Aurender iPad app features several different styles of browsing one's library such as by Artist, Album, Genre,
Song, Composer, Conductor, and even by folder. Users can also create folders on the Aurender's drives that
appear across the top of the iPad app. For example I have all my DSD content in a DSD folder on HDD2. The iPad
app displays a button titled DSD, that when tapped displays only the content in that folder. The display isn't
folder-like at all rather it shows the album covers, album title and artist name. Since the beginning days of the
