J. River Media Center 15.0.167

Rated 10/50 by emanresU deriseD at Feb 28, 2009

How ironic that ghammer would claim to have a good attitude and to "treat others well online" in the same paragraph he dishes out multiple personal insults. I never demanded "immediate attention", although as a registered user of JRMC, I feel I had a reason to expect some attention. But it's a relative thing... Maybe some people feel that a few weeks still qualifies as "immediate". When you pay for software, have serious problems, and are ignored in some cases and ridiculed and censured in others, despite being initially civil yourself, you really can't be expected to remain friendly, now can you? Or is it a coincidence that J. River has received SO MANY comments from different people (not all here, not by a long shot) complaining of being treated badly in their forums? Those who are mindless fans of sub-par software and who love to absorb nasty treatment are wrong to expect the same of the rest of us.

i think j river is one of the best music player companies. if you use it for music and to play vids it is the best. i have used most of other apps out there but they all come short to j river. con: bad podcast support. should offer radio stations

A decent player, not the best or the worst . . . unfortunately, the developers have apparently decided that the best way to keep this player in front of prospective users involves countless minor refreshes and updates, so that it's always on this website's front page. A one-syllable change log would probably suffice for most of the "upgrades" the developer releases.

Good remote managment. Very quick organizer if you have tons of mp3 etc.

Not only is is a craptacular piece of evilware nonsense, it's as if it was designed to be annoying. If the arrogant treatment you get in the forum isn't enough, you may be unlucky enough to try one of the plugins written by the brain-damaged blowhard who calls himself "KingSparta". I made the mistake of using his plugins years ago. It was supposed to find and fill missing album date information. What it actually did was DELETE existing date information. The fact that J. River allows such extreme crapware to exist in its forums and on its site should tell you all you need to know.

You don't even have to "talk bad" to get booted (or confronted) in the J. River forums. I once heard of someone who was "pulled aside" for having a country flag for an avatar! MediaMonkey, foobar2000, the list goes on and on. Not only will you end up saving money by avoiding this bugware, you'll also save your sanity, and you'll be treated with more respect.

If you need WORKING software, you should try this real media center. Using 4 month and to this time, it's my favorite program

Very Good Musci Program if you have more than 1000 MP3 etc. Using from 8 Version and still upgrading

After using J.River products for close to 10 years, you could say I am a fan of their products. But that would be inaccurate. Instead it would be more correct to say that I have been unable in all that time to find an alternative that can even come close to doing what their product can do. After becoming disgusted with other software which frequently crashed or was unable to handle my thousands of mp3 files smoothly I discovered Media Jukebox. Since that time J.River has continually progressed and developed their Media Center software into a more robust and efficient package which can quickly and smoothly handle a library of several hundred-thousand files (including FLAC and mp3 audio, video of various file types, image files, etc). Development never seems to stop and the program is continually improved. New features are added when appropriate and the program is tweaked for best performance. Support has been outstanding, with a forum staffed by the developers as well as many highly experienced users/beta testers who are always extremely helpful with any problems you may encounter. I have tried several times to find another program that can work as well, but always find myself back with J.River Media Center. Media Center comes with a no-risk 30-day free trial, or you can opt for the audio-only free Media Jukebox 12. BTW- there appears to be a troll trying to foul the review and rating here. There was a group of users on the J.River support forum who felt it was a social and political soapbox. Although asked by the moderators to avoid the political postings some members refused and the situation escalated causing a number of members to be 'banned' from the site. Most of the members from that time are still active (and happy) with J.River software and it's forum. Many who were banned have returned and continue to purchase upgrades and benefit from the product. Although this was approximately 5 years ago, whenever there are public reviews of J.River software it seems

The best application for media management and audio ever. Very good video, series and image handling. Superb media type support. Tons of features like Cover Flow (3D wall), streaming media, library server, remote control support and IR blasting, directly control htpc from a notebook. Very good Theater View, that's getting closer and closer to Media Centers like Meedio and XBMC regarding video and series. It's already way past when it comes to audio. I've used a lot of other media apps and media centers, and nothing even comes close. J River MC 14 is the fastest, most reliable, most configurable, most versatile, less bloated media application there is. This comes from a man who have been with J River for 4 years, but have tried about all the "good" media software out there to compare. Most of you who are complaining have really no idea what you're saying. Here's some facts. 1. J River do not send spam. They send send mails to people who are registered users in forums, or that have bought the application. They usually send out mail for every major version change (13 to 14) and offer special price for this upgrade. This happens about every 1.5 year. It should not qualify as spam. 2. The pricing are most reasonable fur such a "heavy" media app. If you use the special offers you'll pay 15-19$ for a upgrade. Similar applications with some of the more advanced functions often costs hundred bucks or more. 3. The application is NOT bloated. It loads only what it needs. 4. The speed of this application can not be matched by any applications out there when it comes to huge libraries. It's been tested with about 2,000,000 tracks and are still very responsive. IF you have problem with speed, try to check out if cover art creation (thumbnails) or something else is done in the background. Ask in the forums before you nag! 5. The support for J River product is usually great. There are a LOT of helpful people on the forums that's more than willing to help

The last time I registered JRMC was a loooooooong time ago, yet I received spam recently. There were NO unsub instructions and the "To" address was deliberately hidden. That's "spam" to me. I was never rude in the forum. The problem was that my question didn't have an answer any of the fools there could copy and paste, so I got ignored. A lot of the users in the JRMC forum are great. All the devs I've corresponded with in the forum and via email are also fine people. It's the owner and a handful of the nutball devotees I have no stomach for. But a handful of excrement is all it takes to spoil the pool if you know what I mean. And ummm, Innagada Davida, I never used the J. River forums as any kind of "soapbox". I hated going there because of the regulars and the arrogant owner. My posts here are only because I hate the software. I come here once a day and yeah, when I see an update I'll comment and rate. This latest outpouring of support is the result of people in the J. River forum begging others to come here to help counter those of us who hate crapware.
