while doings lots of silly things that claim to 'improve' sound quality. I would be more sympathetic with JPlay were it a £10 add-on it is, after all, a parasitic program that uses its 'host' for file management etc.

If you require first rate sound and care for little else, the free Foobar is just as good, provided you use the WASAPI output module.īut JRiver has a lot of underlying sophistication when it comes to managing an extensive library. It's stable and does what it says on the tin. I've been using JRMC, on and off, since version 8, mostly as a backup tool when my main solutions (Fb2K, MPCHC/MadVR/Lav, EAC) don't work properly Main drawback, for some, is that it is not free. It does this without requiring some complex setup contrary to the alternative solutions

Its interface is not as polished as Windows Media Center (which is more intuitive to use and better for live TV), but it has a much richer feature set.įor Audio, it is a valid substitute for Foobar, with good ripping, tagging and multizone features (and much more as it's kind of a Swiss Army knife with state of the art performance/features almost everywhere, combined with some 'fool proof' features).įor Video playback, it is state of the art, provided one has the right level of hardware (see Red October HQ feature, and read about MadVR, Lav filters and the like on the net). It can also be a bit overwhelming initially. It is a solid all-in-one solution, very close to the bleeding edge, possibly at the expense of the latest eye-candy.

As it is, I'm considering abandoning MC for photo management for something that works better cross-platform. If this same tech could be utilized to solve that issue, I'd be super-grateful.

It happens the most with photos (and Documents are often useless), but I run into the same types of issues with other Media Types as well. I end up having my wife do all of the prep on the Mac, and then I have to do all of the 'management' tasks later on my workstation in my office (which means I forget and get in trouble and yada yada yada). When we want to do many common photo management, editing, and printing types of tasks, it is super frustrating that I can't do things like pop files from MC into Pixelmator or Adobe's applications, and I can't drag a playlist of files to a folder or USB stick to upload it somewhere or take with me for printing. Drag drop from MC to filesystem locations, Send-to > External, Locate > On Disk, etc. The issue is that I can't use many of the file-handling functions which are convenient with Windows-to-Windows Libraries and Mac-to-Mac Libraries for working on the files. My situation is that my main server is a Windows PC, but a few of my common clients are Macs. In case you didn't consider it, I'd really, really love a permanent version of this which worked with a Library Server and connected clients, rather than local Libraries.
