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

#

also what is the motive in not giving people who buy 1 now 2?

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 🙂

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

#

Then we'd probably be having it available as a plugin

#

Idk

somber mountain
#

calling it a "community-made plugin"

river grotto
#

Either way

#

Unless apple gives us a 👍 I’m not convinced it’s safe to add

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 😈

#

so I got cider 1 before nov, how can I get the offer to cider 2?

somber mountain
#

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?

somber mountain
#

You'll get Cider 2, one you're talking about once we release a stable version of it

Thank you!
