    PonoPlayer Shipment Dates
    Posted by the PonoMusic Team

    Dear Pono backers,

    Even though this information was previously included in Update 46, we're reposting it as it appears many of you may have missed it.

    PonoPlayer Shipments Begin Last Week of October

    We plan to ship the October Kickstarter PonoPlayer rewards beginning the last week of October and we anticipate completing them by mid-November. Each of you will be notified via email when your player is shipped. Generally, the earlier Kickstarter pledges and Signature Series players will get priority for shipment.

    When your player is shipped, you will also get access to the Pono music purchases beta program. This means you will get access to the PonoMusic World (desktop app) and be able to purchase and download music. Keep in mind that we will be in beta mode until after all Kickstarter rewards have been shipped. Also, please keep in mind that the store is currently only open in USA meaning that that the billing address for your credit card must be in the USA. We anticipate launching the store in UK and Canada in first quarter of 2015 and then expand internationally.

    We have some more good news for those who pledged for PonoPlayers with an expected delivery of December 31. We anticipate shipping all PonoPlayers in time for Christmas!

    October PonoPlayer Rewards

    Shipping begins in last week of October and should be completed by mid November. You will receive an email notifying you of your shipment along with a UPS tracking number.

    December PonoPlayer Rewards

    Shipping begins last week of November and should be completed in time for Christmas. You will receive an email notifying you of your shipment along with a UPS tracking number.

    Challenges with Certain Countries

    Our logistics team informs us that certain countries' laws and regulations (mostly those outside of US, Canada, and EU) may result in delivery challenges. If you happen to be from one of these countries, we will be reaching out to you shortly to work with you to overcome these issues and ship you your reward. Please be on the lookout for messages from our logistics team on Kickstarter .

    Thanks for your support,

    Mahalo from the PonoMusic team

    I think everyone agrees that they are a collectors item and will retain value in that sense, but I continue to wonder if they will retain value as a DAC for Hi-rez audio. Still not sure...its such a small niche. I will probably wait till they go way down in price to give Pono a shot.

    They also aren't the only one making players with high quality DAC's, so if the price isn't competitive they may not catch on either. The shape is also an odd choice... lol. Not sure if I'd want that in my pocket.

    Still I wish i'd jumped on a PJ one while I had the chance... lol.

    Word is they've started to ship, but people aren't receiving emails from Pono - they're getting notifications from UPS.

    You can sign up for a free My UPS Choice account - they'll send you notifications that you have a package coming.
    "There's a $10,000 bill in it for you."
    "Oh yeah? Which president's on it?"
    "Uh, all of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch."

    Haha, I don't know which I'd prefer. This or "The Beach" by Kramer.

    Pono Cologne... not being a rock star, doesn't have to mean you can't smell like one.

    We've got some great news for you today! Your PonoPlayer has shipped and should be arriving shortly.

    ** Note that the package requires a signature for delivery.
    A Message from our CEO Neil Young

    Hi pono family!

    What a pono time the VIP dinners were with our Kickstarter supporters.

    It was incredible meeting those of you who were there, and feeling the passion you bring to the pono movement.

    Thank you so much from all of us.

    Welcome to the pono experience.

    You, our Kickstarter Supporters, will be the first to use our beta website and music store. We welcome your feedback and comments, as they will help us to ensure the best service for music lovers.

    We will offer a very large selection of ponomusic.

    All ponomusic is 44.1/16 resolution or higher, up to and including 192/24 resolution. 44.1/16 is the resolution that is used on CDs.

    We are continually in contact with artists, producers, and record companies, requesting the highest resolution possible for their music.

    Some artists’ works have been provided to us in multiple resolutions so we are currently processing these files, eliminating all but the highest resolution from our music store.

    As a Kickstarter supporter, if you purchase ponomusic and files that are higher resolution become available then you will be eligible to receive free upgrades for life, because we greatly appreciate your support. You are pono.

    Thank you!

    Neil Young,
    PonoMusic World

    With your PonoPlayer on the way, we wanted to introduce you to PonoMusic World - our desktop application for purchasing, downloading and cataloging your music, making playlists, as well as transferring music to your PonoPlayer.

    You can download PonoMusic World here:
    Mac
    Windows
    PonoMusic Store - Beta Access

    The PonoMusic store is currently available in the US in Beta access mode by invitation only. Now that your PonoPlayer has been shipped, you have access to PonoMusic World and the PonoMusic store. You are one of the first people to be able to purchase and download music from PonoMusic.com. Keep in mind that we are in the process of expanding our catalog from the major label groups and then the independents, so new titles are added everyday. If there is music you don't see available, odds are it is still in the ingestion process.

    If you encountered any defects or unexpected behavior while using the beta store, please email us an explanation of the problem to: beta@ponomusic.com

    Note: We anticipate launching the store in Canada and the UK in early 2015.
    Tutorial Videos

    Tutorial videos on how to use the PonoMusic World and Store can be found here:

    PonoMusic Tutorials

    We strongly recommend that you view the following videos first:
    - Firmware Update
    - Purchase, Download, and Transfer Music

    Please contact support@ponomusic.com with any further questions
