That's ridiculous.
+1. I currently use MC on a Baetis Revolution, on an iMac, and a Mac mini. I have been testing through several builds the MC capabilities on my Macs, in the hopes that I can get to seamless support of DSD files, something that Apple remorselessly refuses to provide. I don't care if iTunes never plays DSD; it would just be nice if it would at least include them in its database management. MC does this with aplomb, and it is so cool to play those files from MC on any device. I say that as a confirmed Apple fan boy. When finally done, it means that I can dispense with multiple copies of albums just to account for the deficiencies of various platforms and programs.
There is zero reason to think that adding video support should be viewed as a negative. Much as I like the Baetis, the Windows interface sticks out like a sore thumb in an otherwise-all-Mac household. The SQ on the Baetis is excellent, but a little tweaking of a current Mac mini has rendered the difference unimportant. With the new mini on order, with all-flash storage, I expect the difference gap to become irrelevant. New speakers may change that of course. ;-)
But without rock solid video, it is very difficult to sustain the case for MC on the Mac platform. There are several bit perfect audio approaches already available that integrate nicely with iTunes and take advantage of iTunes' capable [on the Mac] file management. I need a single database & playback solution for audio
and video, just like MC provides on Windows. I have tons of MKV files ripped from my BluRay discs, because I hate swapping discs on my Oppo. I have tons of audio files of AIFF and DSD. Right now, only one front-end promises to handle all of this. So, the fact that some people may not need video hardly makes the case for MC Mac remaining half the program on the Mac platform that it is on Windows. Especially with MC already providing bit perfect audio, it's about time to get video solved [that's not a complaint]. Otherwise, there really isn't much point.
