JRiver Media Center and PonoMusic World on Same System?
« on: December 12, 2014, 10:15:20 pm »
I have JRiver Media Center version 19 running on a Windows Machine and on a virtual Windows machine on a Mac.  I also have the Mac version of PonoMusic running on a separate Mac natively in OSX.  I would like to install PonoMusic on the nonvirtual Windows machine as well as the virtual Windows machine.  Would that cause any problems to have both JRiver Media Center 19 and PonoMusic on the same machine?  While my Media Center is the Windows version, I prefer to run PonoMusic natively in OS X.

I don't want to lose the full use of Media Center by installing PonoMusic.  Would that happen?

Thanks.

Would Media Center 20 provide functionality not found in Pono Music World?

Yes, but you may not need it.

Thanks. Is there a link to a page that explains the differences between MC 20 and Pono Music World?  If not, where can I find information about the benefits of MC 20 compared with the features of Pono Music World?

No.  Sorry.  Video and Images are big ones.  Links to other sites.

About 1/3 was removed for PMW.

But the best way to find out more is to download and install the trial.  They can both be used on the same machine without problems.

I am really interested only in audio.  Can you please tell which what additional audio features appear in MC 20 vs. Pono Music Center?

I don't have a Pono player, but I want to buy some Highres music from Pono (they seem to have some exclusives over other sites). Do I need the PMW software if I am using JRiver MC20 (for MAC). In other words can I use JRiver MC 20 to download music bought from Pono Music Site.

You would need to use the Pono Music World software to download.  This might change in the future.
