And just to throw one more confusion into the ticket..  Do I need to install a 32bit or 64bit version of Debian?  I read on one of the web pages for here that JRiver is written for 32bit.  https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Linux_System_Requirements  But then on reading the forum there looks to be conversations about the 64bit build of the app.  OK I am really confused.

You can use the Linux version of MC for 30 days as a trial.

I've been tinkering with Linux/MC as a Linux newbie for a couple of years now. I've had most of the common Debian variants running MC and they all run well. A 64 bit OS is more generally recommended even with 2 gig ram.

Of all the Debian-based distros tested I settled in with Linux Mint 18 since it (to me) is the most user friendly, and has all packages pre-installed for "mounting" a network drive at boot, but YMMV. This would be needed to access your music using the Linux machine if run independently. Once determined how to do the network drive mounting it can be done similarly across most of the Debian based distros.

As Jim mentioned use the more powerful box for video using Windows, especially if you are a Linux newbie. As an option the Linux box can use the Windows box MC shared library.

OK.  I am not totally a newb when it comes to Linux.  I grabbed the debian-9.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso and put it onto a USB stick and got an install of Debian up.  Now I didn't know if there are any requirements for a clean installed that I really need.  I installed it with Gnome as I gathered I might need some form of GUI to work with. 

I had no issue with adding my user account to adm, sudo and audio.  But I just could not get the first step to work at all.  The first part (wget) would grab a key from the website, but the second part sudo apt-key add - would just fail with an error.  I gather that the apt-key command is not valid with my install.  Sadly as the screen is in the basement and my iMac upstairs, I can't remember the exact wording.  Needless, even trying to add the JRiver repositories didn't get me very far with the same error. 

From the instruction document you linked to, it does have the Debian 9.x listed, but I will give 8.10 a try if that is what it will take.   I, however, thing that I might or must have something else not configured correctly as this seems like there is something else at play that is stopping me.

Any help of suggestions on what to try would be appreciated.

Matt
