Doof's argument is a very true and strong one.
Most of those who are for this new look and do not care about tree ,gave it the best judjement.
BUT ,again ,you can see people using at full possibilitys a Media CENTER ,and those having the pain to use a Media Center when they just would like a Media JUKEBOX.
Slowly this people may stop to use MC.
So ,again ,make an Media JUKEBOX 9 .
No need to change interface. Just put SmartList, the new burning fonctions,and everything concerning music.
Make it a finish product ,not ,again ,a beta.
Put it out at regular Jukebox price-
No free upgrade from MJ8 ,people with an MC key ,of cause can use it.
This one would got VERY GOOD revues , many people would buy it.
And ,at the same ,have MC saga going on with a TOTALY DIFFERENT kind of users/customers.
As i see it ,the only raisons some people use McC,even if they do not like it ,is because of MUSIC ONLY features not in MJ8.
The second raison is that people with more than 10-15 thousands songs are stuck with MC or MJ ,because there is not another jukebox who can deal with large number of songs.
I do think there is a market for a MJ9 brand- from JRiver or from another compagny-
