I am planing to buy a iPod Touch 32GB. I have tried the 16GB version and MC12 could not detect it. There is info around the forum that the touch is not supported by MC yet. Can anyone confirm this? Can anyone inform of plans to support it and if so when will it be supported?

[JimH]

Soon.

[ThoBar]

Soon.

Is this official? Can I look at the Touch with 100% confidence that it will be supported by MC (I am still holding out for a device I like that MC supports fully - and that I can get salary packaged  )

[JimH]

Official?  Probably.  Apple could throw us another curve.

This is wonderful news.

Does this imply that the iPhone might also be supported?

Its none of my business but I am curious if it was the recently announced SDK that enabled this?

[JimH]

No. 

Touch should work (but not perfectly) in the build posted yesterday (456).

Thanks Jim. The JRiver team is amazing.

[SwellGuy]

Yes, the iPod touch and the iPhone and handled the same.

[Cheburashka]

Before trying this... do the "known problems" in the sticky (which is quite ambiguous) actually still exist in more recent versions?

[SwellGuy]

Yes (unfortunately).

[Cheburashka]

Ok... well, progress before perfection.

And are you folks working on the three itunes compatability issues I've raised previously:

1.  Files referenced from .cue files are not synched properly (the whole album file rather than just an extracted segment is synched, screwing up the size limits)?
2.  MP4/AAC tagging?
3.  Conversion of video for iPod/iPhone with tagging?

[JimH]

Cue files and iPod may never work.

MP4/AAC filetypes are probably played in MC with Quicktime.  We can read, but not write.

I believe that video conversion works now for iPod.  Check the options.  Iphone might also work.

Thanks Jim, its nice to get a response on these.  There are freeware source libraries now that support mp4/aac tagging.  If I help you find one of them would that help move the tagging issue along?

Also - it seems to me like it would be straightforward for you to do the cue-files-for-ipod thing.  You just run the relevant portion of the media file through the converter, just like you would for any other file that needs its type converted for ipod use, and update the tags.  In fact, I think (I would have to try this again) it works properly if you just select music from within a .cue'd file and choose "convert file type"...  It just doesn't work automatic...

How can I encourage/help you to resolve these issues?

[Cheburashka]

Bump.

You mean the cue splitting process during the automatic iPod sync will never work??
What happens when I try to sync a flac+cue album with an ipod?
Like Cheburashka said, unless I'm wrong, MC already does all of this when I use "library tools" » "convert format" so I thought it already worked seamlessly!
Can anyone clear this up?

thanks

Sorry have been on travel but this is good news (the suport of touch)!!!!
Thank you all!

I think what Jim meant was that actually putting a cue file on the iPod and having it handle that wouldn't work. MC's smart enough to know what formats an iPod will play and will convert files accordingly.

[neovibe]

sorry for my insistence but I didn't understand,  does the flac+cue to ipod transfer work seamlessly or not? (with the touch in particular)
(I know cue files on ipod will never ever work)

thanks again!

[Doof]

Well, I've never tested it with flac+cue, but I do use APL files which kinda similar and MC converts those to MP3 automatically before putting them onto the iPod, so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't do the same with flac+cue.
