iPhone 3G support?
gummbah:
I have a run into a few issues that makes MC syncing to a folder not very usable for the Iphone.
The first thing is cover art. I have all art stored in folder.jpg in each folder. Under handheld options I have checked to add cover art so tags, to Itunes will recognise it. But MC does not always seems to respect this. When it synced the first time MC added album art, but syncing after adding a new album to the playlist does not add album art to the tags. This seems an MC bug.
Second, compilation albums. The iphone 3g strangly does not fully respect the compilation tag. It does add compilation albums to compliations in the Iphone, but it also places each artist in the artist list. This makes it necessary to retag compilation albums (single artist for each album). This is not MC's fault, but that makes syncing impossible, because MC will wipe each compilation album on sync and replace it with the original one in the MC database.
Until this is solved I will need to stick to manually copying my music to a folder and sync Itunes and the Iphone to that folder.

FYI - iPhone 2.0.2 software update is out today. I'm updating now. Reportedly... Bug fixes (gotta love those detailed change logs, eh?).
It's big and updating takes a while. Not like updating Windows takes a while, but certainly longer than updating MC or something. I don't really get why people moan about updates being big anymore. I mean, it is just over 200mb, for an OS. Are these people on Dial-up still? Why are they complaining?
Anyhow. I'll let you know if I have any issues, but so far so good.
EDIT: It just finished. Ooooh! Contacts is much better. And the intermittent text lag (which was greatly diminished but not eliminated) seems like it might be a little better too. I was pretty regularly getting a text input lag on the passcode entry screen after sleeping the phone for a while. That seems like it is gone completely.
Haven't tried typing an email yet, but we'll see.

Thanks for the heads up...
glynor:
Just did some typing (including this post) and text lag is once again improved vs. 2.0.1. It is not quite entirely gone. Not quite teh snappiez like it was with 1.0.x (based on my experience with my friend's phone). So, moving in the right direction substantially, but still not quite perfect.
Much more consistent, and I'm no longer able to "get ahead" of the characters being input, as happened occasionally with the previous two versions.

In another post I put forward the idea to develop an Iphone application that let's you connect to your MC library.
No reacties come to the post, so I would like to talk about it again in this post.
The reason is that I have installed Simplify Media from the app store, which let's you connect to your full music collection on your home computer, as well as to collections from others. This is really a great app, because I am no longer limited to 16 GB, but have unlimited storage space available. It lets your stream music over wifi or 3g and works like a charm. It can even display playlists, album art, artis info and lyrics.
Of course it would be even more nice if I could connect to my MC library, including smart playlists etc. With the innovative capacity of the MC team even more could be expected...:)
