Er... which Mediamax? The one in current release, which has not been recalled, is a very different beast from what you describe.
"MediaMax allows you to copy music, "
Per the settlement, with unwarranted restrictions.
"transfer to all portable music players"
No. As presented on the CD and under the EULA, no.
" and remove the software with the uninstaller."
As presented on the CD and under the EULA, no. There is no uninstaller, nor is one referred to.
" What specific road block is in the way of version 6? "
As long as the settlement provisions remedying the above are followed, none :)
SuncMax has made some provisions either under the table (music to ipod) or after the fact (uninstall) but 6.0 must have all settlement provisions built in and clearly disclosed.
The provisions I refer to... if Mediamax was as you described it then this would read very differently.
This is the "Motion And Memorandum Of Law", a motion for, and summary of, the settlement that gives the judge advance notice of what the full settlement will do for all parties involved.
A quote from that:
"Defendants have agreed to waive certain of their rights under the XCP and MediaMax EULAs. These waivers will allow consumers to remove the XCP and/or MediaMax software from their computers, listen to the audio files across all file formats and in all portable music players, and choose not to download future updates of the XCP or MediaMax software. Once these provisions are waived, consumers will not have to be in possession of the SONY BMG CD to hold a license for the audio files, will not be precluded from copying music files and other digital content on the CDs, will be allowed to resell the CDs, and will not lose their licenses for the software if they file for bankruptcy protection or are declared insolvent. Also, Defendants waive their rights to be indemnified by users of the XCP or MediaMax software for harm arising from their use of the software."

"transfer to all portable music players"
No. As presented on the CD and under the EULA, no. Per the Sony-Apple conflict ipods are excluded by the EULA.
" and remove the software with the uninstaller."
As presented on the CD and under the EULA, no. There is no uninstaller, nor is one referred to.

SuncMax had incidentally met some of the provisions, but they were either "under the counter" (music to ipod) or after the fact (uninstall)... and nothing for the rest of the provisions. The provisions must be met in the version of Mediamax 6 distributed on CD and the EULA must match as well.
