Do not buy this software. You will be paying to be a beta-tester. Do not attempt to nick it either -- it phones home. Jim Hillegrass, the CEO of JRiver is one of the heaviest-handed, most insane control freaks I have ever seen in my life and you would do best to never go near him.

Tested so many media players like VLC player, KM Player, Power DVD, GOM Player, Windows Media Player.... but finally I found J.River Media Center to be Best. J River has so many features and customizations that renders best audio and video quality simultaneously.
Good work needs to be acknowledged....!!! -

Reviewing 16.0.164 (Sep 18, 2011)
I must concur wit the review stating why pay $40 to replace freeware bloated overly complex unituitive Windows Media Player with an even more complex bloated unintuitive lookalike?
But wait! You can also enjoy your posts on the support forum being habitually greeted with snide insults from the official company posters including the CEO, who instantly deletes posts which he deems derogatory or heaven forbid mention a competing product.
The company claims audiophile sound quality beyond the competitors, yet few ppl even have an audiophile digital playback setup to even evaluate let alone validate the claim. -

Bloated and full of useless stuff....well if you don't want to use futures dont use
There is a huge difference between MC and for example Real Player... -

Yes this is definitely bloated and full of useless stuff, however this software has one thing that makes it amazing. It has the BEST and most customizable podcast support I've ever found in any program. That is the only reason I use it. I just wish they would offer a standalone podcast downloader, but I can live with that. It just uses a s***load of memory and lags a lot. Not a bad price to pay for how good the podcast part of it is though.

I dealt with J. River ages ago when we tried to use some of their networking products. We quickly figured out that support was NOT one of their priorities (nor was standards adherence). If you run into trouble with any of their products you're effectively on your own unless you are (a) one of handful of major enterprises they depend on to survive, or (b) you raise the specter of legal action and have the means to back it up.

Wow, you guys sure are witty!
Actually, I used JRMC for years. I first registered it (when it was Media Jukebox) back in 2002. Is that using it enough for you?
I post brief and snarky reviews here because I just don't care enough to post descriptive, detailed criticisms of the program. That has no relation to how I posted in the J. River forums. In actuality, I posted in exactly the appropriate manner.
And I did not give up on JRMC easily. I tried for months to get my problem resolved. I kept bumping my thread and providing more details as I found them. But no one took any interest in providing any real assistance.

I totally agree ghammer. The only ones who post 1 star reviews is those that can't use forums in a normal manner, or people that turns away from the application the minute they encounter a obstacle. There might also be those that's not even tried the application before they give bad reviews.

Hmmm, seems a lot of people equate their lack of forum etiquette with the quality of a program.
I've been involved with this app for years and am active in the forums there. I've not seen people censored or ignored except in cases where they are quite stupid/obnoxious/childish.
I also see many give their "garbage" or "other apps are much better" with nothing more to back it up.
Likely the same lucid style used to post in the support forums and wonder why nobody jumps to help them.
