I tried this and it is slow and bloated! GOM Player is better

It appears they have changed the name back to Media Jukebox, and made it free again. As I've already paid the upgrade fee for version 12, I'm not very happy about this. Not the first time I've been burned in exactly the same way. This is why I don't feel bad looking up serials anymore.

This is Media Center, Not Media Jukebox. It is and always has been shareware. This is the finest tool for media that you are going to find. Period. I am rather finicky about my media. I don't want it tagged without my ok, don't want images changed/converted/tagged. I want to get exactly the tune/movie/episode/image I want when I want it. I want to play similar tunes when I'm in the mood. I want to send things to my handheld. I want to rip a CD or DVD into the format I want. I want to play my media from work or elsewhere. I want to NOT have to install this and that program/driver/filter to do all these things. And I want the best sound possible from my computer. JR Media Center does all this and more. Doesn't load my system with extra crap, doesn't hog all the resources, doesn't need constant attention. For the money, actually for much more than asked, there is no finer music suite, and when you add all the other capabilities, well, you aren't going to find any other program or combination of programs that do what this does as well as this does it. Download it, try it. It's the reason for shareware. I'm sure you'll be happy. If you are only interested in music, try this app's brother, JR Media Jukebox. Same fine quality only limited to audio. And it's free. http://www.mediajukebox.com/

Media Jukebox is the free versions and only includes audio capabilities. Its great. Media Center however, stands out as all-in-one program. It has tons of features, can be customized to everyone's need and it is not slow as one user previously stated. Its fast and responsive even when having thousands of files in its library. Can burn, rip, convert, tag and more...

GOM Player is better ----------------------------------------------- Didn't find it to be slow and bloated at all when I gave it a spin. As for GOM, poor help and documentation for the product. I'll rate them both a 2, maybe a 3 at most.

Media Center is a cure-all for media. Let's just talk music. It not only plays most formats, it will re-invigorate your listening enjoyment, such that every single track you hear will be like a happy rainbow trickling in one ear, gently caressing your brain, and then trickling out the other ear. In short, if you choose not to use J. River Media Center, you're not only missing out on the fulfillment of a complete existence, you are a miserable failure in all known and unknown dimensions.

After all the features, formats, options and resource consumption, it now has the option to install it on a portable media player, like iPods. This is great. The only thing missing is an easier way to have customized views in the library. But this is a minor issue because it has a big set of options there.

I really wish people who develop software would not write their own reviews!

good software

I test it, it does not have any thing more than WMP or WMC. it updates daily.

junk software. what abour Windows Media Center?

"songbird has a lot more features" Ahhhh, the old "there are a lot of free alternatives" idea. First, that isn't a review. Second, give some valid examples. Songbird for instance is unstable, does not do what JRMC does, and is an early beta/alpha. BTW- I don't really want to browse the web with my media player. A review is a review. Now, while "sucks", "free is better", etc may be the height of infomation in your circles, it is not in the least informative.

Doesn't have more than WMP... Are you on drugs, or are you a comedian? Or perhaps a drugged comedian?

songbird has a lot more features, you can even browse the web, its interface is similar to jriver and it is FREE. oh, and it works on mac and linux too. so, i won't give $40 for jriver when there are a lot of free alternatives.

A very good player, using for years.

Works great. If you just want a jukebox, try J. River Media Jukebox. It's free: ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/MJ12/MediaJukebox120039.exe
