I just installed MC23 and it installed under MC22 folder. This means that it is not really a new version, it is actually just an update. Do you mean you charged me $20 for an update? Every year you release an update with minimal improvements. The last I bought was MC20 and the last update contained a firmware that messes up the signal causing my receiver to feed my speakers with clipping noises. So I was forced to purchase MC22, and I haven't had the bad signal since.
Please update this version and make sure that it installs under its own folder and not under MC22's.

Although I find this a bit harsh, I somehow cannot shake the feeling you describe. Looking back at MC 18, I have paid for many updates with minimal, and no fundamental, improvements. It is unclear to me what J-Rivers strategy is to make it stand out from competition. Heck, I even couldn't tell who the competition is (Kodi? Roon? Mediamonkey? Emby? Foobar2000? Daphile? Itunes?)

Ummm, by default Media Center 23 installs in its own folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 23). I just double checked this in a virtual machine - make sure you're not installing in a custom path (or portable install).

Have a read of this post, it explains JRiver's business model.

Also, as stated at the top of this thread, MC 23 is currently in beta.
There is no obligation to upgrade MC. If you're happy with a particular version you can run that version for ever. If you want to upgrade and help fund the development of future versions of MC you can do that too.
