Great software. This can replace a lot of small programs very well. If you just need a Jukebox, try MediaJukebox. It is free: http://www.mediajukebox.com/

Don't install this particular version (i.e. build 518)! Per the owner of J. River: "build removed as a precaution -- possible data problem" (that is, possible data loss/corruption with build 518).

Wow--Try being a loyal user for years, and then having ONE serious problem. Good luck getting support. You'll get snotty-assed responses from the owner, who knows hardly even the basics of how the application works.

I'm still ashamed of ever using or recommending this thing.

Nice player until it breaks and one of its obscure-but-nasty bugs destroys your entire media library. And good luck getting support when such a problem occurs.

Hmmm... Well, I used MC and its predecessor MJ for about 6 years, but then my library kept getting corrupted, and I do not mean by J. Retard's beta releases. (I tried betas in vain hope of finding a solution.) They have no support to speak of (only a couple forum idiots making idiotic suggestions), so I was left hanging. Too bad, so sad, buh-bye.

Using over year, one player easy to use with multi-functions, convert, rip, searching lyrics, last.fm support. If yu got 10.000 mp3 its the only player to get anything in right place

JRMC is a good piece of software (when it works) but I have to agree with the other reviews that the "support" is the worst I have ever encountered. For $40, you do not get email support, there is only a forum where an obnoxious (and I do mean obnoxious) person will ridicule you and then delete your posts. Being civil does not matter. If you offer constructive criticism - you get banned. If you refer to other software that does things better in the context of pleading with them to address your concerns - you get banned. And then ridiculed some more. Not many companies I would advocate stealing software from, but there are few more deserving than this one.

I agree 100% with the posters below. J. River's support is appalling. If you like to be ridiculed in the forum by the good old Jim Hillegass, then go ahead and waste your $ 40 on this piece of crap. BTW, their website states that Jim Hillegass' career started in 1958, that's FIFTY years ago ... I wonder how old is he now ... (see: http://www.jrmediacenter.com/management.html)

i really dont understood you, is it really apple paying you to give this comments? I got 250gb of music and the only way to play this is media center when i can put everything in place as i want. Dont have any problems with that stuff

Lots of developer focus but I agree the environment isn't customer-centric. If you can put up with the censorship which has been going since the days of version 9 at least, you might find the dev process rewarding. Many new features come out quick but without much long-term communications. The HTPC interface needs a bit of work but it's gotten much better in the last few years. Not sure there's anything better for a one-size-fits-all app.

The support is terrible, and while certain aspects of the application are very nice, certain other aspects are atrocious.
