iPhone 3G support?

You might consider setting up a webpage a la the "e-mail your congressman" sites, and soliciting users to use it to tell Apple how we feel. I'd be willing to spent the 2 minutes of time it would take.

It's a bright idea, but I don't think it would be appropriate for JRiver to guide such a movement. Feel free to set one up.

Agreed.

I too think this may be the result.

Where did you do so? On the support forums? A particular email address? I'm happy to send off a complaint - I'd rather not get it swamped in the Apple support forums though. (especially by the APES - Apple Proponents and Evangelical Society)

I use Ipod hard drive music players exclusively for my music (5 of them), all managed by MC12 (now MC13). I have hardware and hookups designed for Ipods which I happen to like very much.
Based on the comments from Jim, I made the decision to indefinitely stay with the previous version of the Ipod classic which is now sold refurbished by Apple for $249 (160 gb) - I can confirm they work fine with MC13. I can stay like this for a long time.
However, at some point in the future I am trusting that JRiver will find a way and will support the new Ipods (and other Apple music devices). I do think it is important in the long term for JRiver to do so (and certainly is important to me at some point in the future).
Good luck/best wishes to us all on this.

Well judging from JimHs comments it sounds like JRiver does not plan to try to support the new iPods which is a shame. I know Apple is doing some stupid items however making the consumer decide between ipod and your software is not really the best battle to take. Unfortunate the ipod is very popular which means it has many many accessories for it to work with many devices/cars and makes it an obvious choice for a mobile media device over most options.
So looks like I will have to find another tool to manage my music.

Once I had decided (or better: forced) to use Itunes for my iPhone it is not so bad after all. I am increasingly also using it as my media manager and player. The genius function is one of the best I have seen until now (works better for me than radio mode in MC).
And with some third-party software it is possible to monitor folders as well (although still a bit complicated).
