Integration with Apple
« on: June 21, 2009, 02:34:23 pm »

I need JRiver Media Center. I want iPhone integration. What are the latest techniques for integrating the two?  My library is 100% FLAC.

One idea I thought might work would be to store side-by-side MP3 files and import the music directory from time to time.  The problem would be mapping custom fields in iTunes (Ben's Rating) which I don't know if this is possible.  It would be nice to sync tags (ratings) both ways, etc...

Does 2-way rating sync. 
For flacs you'll need to set up handheld folder in MC that points to the itunes library folder.
This way there are mp3's for itunes to use.
Then you'll need to create a field iTunesFileKey in MC with a calculated value similar to this:
Replace([Filename (path)],\\NAS\Volume_1\mp3\,E:\Users\zxsix\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\)Replace([Filename (name)],flac,mp3)
This maps the mp3 in itunes with the matching flac file in MC.
In the options of the sync utility, you need to check the box for alternate file key.
