Installing Pono alongside MC21

<< < (2/2)

DJLegba:
I use the Pono store but I don't have a Pono player. All the sites I purchase downloads from have some sort of downloader, and the Pono store uses PMW. After downloading I just use the operating system to copy the folder onto the drive that MC watches. It works well for me - I have no complaints.

Magic_Randy:
I can't offer more. All I'm doing is explaining how it works. If you do not like the approach I suggest you raise the issue to Pono as they are the ones defining the specification for the software that interacts with their web store and their music player.

Why can't PMW acknowledge an existing install of MC?  It seems stupid, and more work as long as both libraries are independent of each other.  What are others doing?

Here is my suggestion.

Use PMW only as a downloader. Ignore the fact that it can do more.

Then use MC 21 (or whatever version you are using) to manage your library.

If you decide later to also have a Pono Player, you could still use PMW as a downloader, but also use it to update the firmware on the Pono Player. You could continue to use MC 21 to manager your library. MC 21 can also be used to sync your Pono Player. You do not need to use PMW for this function.
