Hello everyone!
Ok, "saved my marriage" part might have been just a tad over-the-top but MC's TiVo plugin has removed
A LOT of frustration in our house. Please read on...
I've been a lurker for quite sometime now. I'm a fairly new owner of MC and I am very happy - to say the least! With a library of over 30k tracks / photo's, etc. MC handles it with ease. Great work guys and gals!
A little background...I first installed MC on a laptop that I utilize as my daily work and play computer. I also have a desktop system on my wired / wireless home network that actually stores my audio / video & photos files. It also stores and feeds my TiVo.
My question is what is the best way to manage my library and keep both libraries (laptop / desktop) in sync and up to date? The library server option?
Maybe a better way to explain it - I would like to use my laptop most of the time to manage tags, files, photo's etc. but utilize my desktop and attached ext. hdd's to archive my media files.
Saved My Marriage Part...I have a TiVo on the network that stores and pulls media files. The TiVo plugin saved my marriage! Please let me explain...
As a (disgruntled) Buffalo Linktheater owner it was a pleasure when I finally had MC up and running across the TiVo network and all played without a hitch. The wife thanks you too!
Just a little rant...We are extremely happy now that we can listen to our music without the annoying static problem that has plagued the Linktheater unit's from day one. THANK YOU!
You would think after 6 different FW upgrades and ten months, Buffalo would provide a fix ? Not even close! And it appears they have moved on to other projects, totally abandoning and ignoring the original owners. Basically several hundred if not thousands of customers have a $350 DVD player that can't play commercial discs without stutters, skips and MP3's without static! Live and learn!
A Happy Ending...Anyway, I am happy to announce MC and the TiVo plugin saved our marriage and sanity.
Ok, maybe just the sanity part. We've been happily married for over 11 years. As the old saying goes
"if you have a good experience you'll tell ten people and if you have a bad one you'll tell everyone you meet." Well, I promise you one thing - I'll go the extreme and tell strangers on the street
how horrible the Linktheater and Buffalo are and how incredibly useful, affordable and awesome MC is! In my business, I have always considered it a huge compliment when a customer tells me we offer the best value over the competition. So if you are reviewing this software for the first time I am here to tell you - you WILL NOT FIND A MORE ROBUST OR BETTER VALUE PERIOD! Just go ahead a buy it!
Thanks again and please keep up the great work!
Jim
