Hello
Looking to buy a Pono player to play my ripped audio and other sources of high resolution audio.
Will I be able to sync MC 21 to a Pono player. Will that sync work?? Thanks Timothy

MC22 was the first version that supported Pono. Try reading more on this board.

Thank you Jim, sorry I must not have seen that. So I will need to upgrade my JRiver media player running on MY PC windows 10. Let me go look on the upgrade forum and see if it is self evident to go to at least MC 22. Timothy

Looking to buy a Pono player
I thought the Pono was dead. Certainly, Wikipedia still seems to think so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pono_(digital_music_service)
So does Neil Young: http://www.noise11.com/news/r-i-p-pono-neil-young-kills-off-his-digital-player-20170423
Plus their website is pretty out of date and dysfunctional: https://www.ponomusic.com/
So are you going to buy a second hand one and use it for your existing media?

MC 24 is the latest version and is the only version available that you can upgrade to but it should support the Pono Player.
That said, I have to agree with Roderick though, Pono is more-or-less dead. If you buy one, you likely won't get any support from Pono for the Pono Player if something goes wrong with it. There are alternatives to the Pono Player out there though, like players from FiiO and Astell & Kern.

I wouldn't say that the Pono Player is dead. There are a lot of them out there and it's not impossible to get good advice. I do agree that the company is dead.
