Audirvana 3 without iTunes?

Legacy versions MacOS
1

hello dear sir or madam,

how can I use audirvana 3 without itunes - as it was in Audirvana 1.0 free?

ITunes is waste. It is user unfriendly, confusing and more a shop than a musicplayer. And I do not need any of the store crap which is integrated.
An audiophil player has to be clean. just play what I want and nothing more.
Besides, I have tried to add my 24bit hiRes flac albums to Itunes, but if I click on the playlist, there are no songs, no titles and I can not play anything.
(iTunes it is not deactivated in the preferences)

Please. Could anyone tell me how to use audirvana 3 nativ, as it was in the beginning? No iTunes please!
Or is there a workaround to run Audirvana 1.0 on Mavericks 10.9.5?

thank you,
best regards,

Marcel

Im using Audirvana 3 without iTunes integrationā€¦ why are you under the impression that iTunes is needed?

Hello and thank you for your answer.

ā€¦because, if I open Audirvana plus 3, iTunes opens, too. Every time.
And if I close the iTunes WIndow, there is not track list window left.

How can I open the track list window for the Audirvana plus 3?
And how can I deaktivate iTunes at start up of Adirvana?

best regards,

Marcel

Hello again!

I have checked both menu bars, Audirvana plus 3 and iTunes. I can not find the option ā€œunchecked iTunes integrated Modeā€ā€¦
Could you please give me a screen shot, where I can find these setting?

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Marcel

Itunes is not compatible with FLAC files. You have to trancode them first in ALAC (Apple Loseless) using XLD (itā€™s free and makes a great job)
Sorry for my ā€œprobablystrangeā€ english, i im french you know ā€¦

The exact menu option is labhelled ā€œITunes integrated Modeā€
This menu line can be checked or not
Checked : Audirvana works with itunes (this is what you donā€™t want)
Unchecked : Audirvana works alone
i use both depending of the file type

@ louvbe,

thank you for your kind reply. You are welcome! :wink:

I think I do not want to transform over 100GB FLAC files. :wink:

This is one of the reason, that I do not want iTunes trash.
Because of this I have choosen Audirvana, and not Amarra or PureMusic.

If I can deactivate iTunes and run Audirvana Plus 3 nativ - this would be great!

Thanks,
best regards,

Marcel

Hahaaa!! I got it!! :slight_smile:

The option ā€œITunes integrated Modeā€ appears only, after I have deaktivated all iTunes settings on the last rauter on the very right under preferences.
After that, Audirvana start new and I have to set up library and streaming options new.

Now it works finally! happy! :slight_smile:

Thank you all together!!

Best regards,
Marcel
