From the PC side:
JRiver now has a new Playlist Server system. It's called Dr. Who. It will eventually be linked to Play Doctor and will create better playlists, using both your local tracks and some from the Internet.
You can upload your playlists and smartlists to it, then download them from another machine.
You can browse other users playlists and download them.
With downloaded playlists, MC will look for matching tracks in your library first, then online (presently using our Performer Store of 40,000,000 tracks). Samples or full length, depending on your Performer account status. Amazon is also searched and previews are available.
To upload playlists:
You'll need the latest build from the MC21 board.
You will need to turn on the Doctor Who feature in Tools > Options > General > Features.
Then check for updates one more time. You should see Doctor Who at the bottom of your playlists. Drag any playlist to it to upload.
Click on the cloud icon next to any lists on the right to download.
Any downloads will be found at the top of playlists, under "Downloaded Playlists".
Before you can upload a playlist, you must sign up for an account using your forum name if possible, and then use the e-mail you receive to activate the account
More About This Project
So " PERFORMER" is also mentioned as a process to engage outside playlists. You don't need to sign up for such, but if you don't your playbacks are limited to 30 second clips.
It mentions Who is indeed browser based, as it rolled out under IE.
As it is now, I can que up Who under playlist window and likely can drag a personal list into it, but until there's a browser/mail sign-in, it's just another playlist.
I also read that the Who browser/enabler ( whatever the "Who" it is) is embedded in MC software so there's nothing to download per say.
So many questions .... JimH, you out there ?
