Hello! i went to the cider download page (https://download.cider.sh/) to buy the app through microsoft store, but then a message appeared saying the following: All Microsoft Store purchases until November 30th are eligible for a free Cider 2.x upgrade. More information to follow on a later date. is this until november 2023 or 2? if i buy the app now will i not be able to get 2.0? if so then why?

November 30th 2022, so no the offer does not stand anymore

If you buy Cider 1 now, you wouldn't be getting a free copy of Cider 2 when it comes out
since the offer's no more
You'd have to buy Cider 2 to use it

how much do you think 2 will be when it releases?
also what is the motive in not giving people who buy 1 now 2?

If i'm not wrong, it'll cost about 2 dollars. It's preview will be up on store very soon

Exclusivity perhaps, no real reason really. It's basically our way to thank our early supporters

ah ok, thanks!
general question as i haven't seen it on the faq, will offline play be possible in the future?
somber mountain
Perhaps
Can't say more than that. We're working on bringing in local file support and offline playback
But if that ever happens, would be on Cider 2

sweet! thank you for everything you're doing

Offline play where where you load files that you download into cider, like mp3s from YouTube, is possible
Offline play where you download from Apple Music and store for playback will only occur with the approval and guidance from apple. Since technically, even if stored encrypted, apple can still argue that we’re enabling IP theft, and I like not having a cease & desist letter rammed up my ass 🙂

pretty sure crypto was working on bringing in offline playback with freya-js. not sure about its consequences tho

Again, I think apple will send us a cease and desist since we’re technically enabling people to download music in a format that apple isn’t certain of
So for all they care we’re putting WAV files on people’s computers
somber mountain
Then we'd probably be having it available as a plugin
river grotto
Idk
somber mountain
calling it a "community-made plugin"
somber mountain
Yeah well that's most likely not gonna happen. until then even i'm unsure

Let’s get cider 2 to 1M+ users and then see if that changes 😈
raw geyser
so I got cider 1 before nov, how can I get the offer to cider 2?

you’ll get a free copy for cider 2 once we release stable to store
as of now, it’s preview

Sorry to open this back up but wondering if we can test Cider (EA) being a Cider 1 purchaser?

No it's an early bird preview
You'll get Cider 2, one you're talking about once we release a stable version of it

Thank you!
