I have been running MC for Windows since version 17 (currently using 20) and love it. The new Master Licensing scheme couldn't come at a better time...... I have never owned an Apple product, but was contemplating going with an older (2008-2009 dual core, 2 gig ram) Macbook for playing music with my two channel portable PA rig, with possible upgrade to a newer machine later this year. I was able to pick up a Macbook very cheap locally this past weekend, and have reinstalled the OS on a new hard drive (currently @ Lion 10.7.5).
My questions:
1. Does Gizmo work well with MC running on Mac? Is it fully functional similar to MC running in Windows? I don't own any I-Pads or I-Phones so Android remote control is required.
2. Is there a "universal" hardware remote that works with Mac (like a WMC remote)?
3. Does HD video play efficiently?
4. Will updating to a newer OS make any difference for MC functionality or efficiency?
I may have some more specific questions as I delve into using the Macbook with the trial version of MC for Mac this weekend, just need to know what the limitations are and if getting the multi-os license makes sense for me.
The price is definitely right, kudos to the JRiver folks for combining all OS's into one!
Thanks.
