Long time MC user with Pono coming soon. What to do?!...

<< < (2/2)

JimH:
It's audio only and not all features will be available.  It's up to Pono to decide when to release.

steven.porteus:
I cloned my Media Center library and opened it with Pono Music World, seems to work OK.  But I'm thinking I need a way to "share" one library so they don't get out of sync.  Not sure if I can just open the same library with both Pono Music World and Media Center or if that has the potential to blow things up.

Or....Can we add Pono specific functionality to Media Center with an add-in or hidden feature enablement or something?  I know this has been suggested before, but it seems that the few hooks that Pono Music World have for the Pono player would be the Pono Music site access, login, and firmware management.  But, maybe there's more under the covers that doesn't make this possible.  It would be nice to get a statement on this from JRiver on this as I really don't want to maintain two versions of the software and libraries.

JimH:
It's too soon to say to what extent MC will support the Pono Player.

MC can probably sync to the Pono Player now, but it won't be able to update firmware or make the Pono blue light work, or download from the store.

al1947:
Backup/restore works, but not 100% of the settings carry over. So double-check after importing.

Don't especially recommend a shared library as there are enough differences between MC20 and PMW20 to create the potential for problems.

However, after trying to keep things in sync I subsequenty dropped the idea because it worked better for me to have two separate libraries, especially regarding playlists. My MC20 lists are optimized for playback via MC20. However, in PMW20, I needed to break up my music into packages that fit the 64GB max microSD cards the Pono Player accepts.
