Compatibility with Macintosh?
« on: November 25, 2003, 01:41:51 am »

Hi all,

didn't find anything about it on the site, so here's my question:
I have an extensive MC database - with a huge organization in it, based on the Dutch charts.
Now I want to give all my mp3's to a friend of mine along with the structure I have in MC (i.e. all playlists).
1) preferably I'd like him to use MC, but is MC made for the Mac?
2) if not: how can I have him use my playlists in another media-program?

Thanks in advance

As a die-hard Macintosh user & a die-hard MC user, you've asked a hard question.

Nothing is comperable on the Macintosh in terms of organization.

As far as playlists, iTunes doesn't appear to support any kind of playlist sharing aside from other iTunes playlists. Perhaps someone could create a playlist converter from MC->iTunes.

You could export your playlists as m3u files and use them with the Macintosh program Audion (http://www.panic.com/audion)

The only other thing I've thought of is using an iPod to do the transfer. Synch your library to the iPod with MC and then use one of the iPod extraction utilities to take that info from the iPod to the Mac. That would bring over the files and tags and may also bring over the playlists.

I've gotten MC to run on a Macintosh in VPC, but it's not pretty. Maybe if you have access to a dual processor G5....

Best,
Brad

iTunes can import .m3u playlists. MC9 can export them.
