Forum Request Board

Awesome Donkey:
I think such a feature would benefit Cloudplay more than anything else, but yeah, it seems like a lot of work and research would be needed for such a thing. If it's going to happen, I personally would be surprised if it happened in the short term, if at all.

With such a board the debate about features could be structured. And it would help me - to understand, if I'm alone with my idea and it would help JRiver to learn more about it's clients. Not more - but also not less.

You're not alone, it's just this kind of thing has been brought up multiple times in the past and it was shot down by JRiver, that's why I don't see this happening. They have their own ways of doing things, and it seems to have worked pretty well for them over the years, so why would they change what isn't broken to them? Ultimately this is why the idea about a feature requests forum section is probably not happening - I would be incredibly surprised if it did.

It sure worked over the past 10 years, but the market is changing, despite of some controversial thinking of others.
We oldies still want to have local copies of files and click around, but looking at the current generation, they stream and swipe the crap out of everything. Spotify/Tidal/Qobuz/Amazon/itunes/Deezer/Youtube/HD-tracks/....
The same goes for movies.

I believe Blackberry and Nokia lost, these were the top brands for Mobile phones, the right to exist by clinging to the idea, they needed to build a phone, while the customers were in need for a small computer, which could also make a call.

Back to the topic:
You're absolutely correct, not to open a topic for feature request as it will open a can of worms. But create a predefined top 10 where your paying customers can vote and try to implement 1 or 2 top votes per major release, doesn't seem that odd??

@dtc
I don't know the Music Genome Project. I know it from an outdated iOS app and from a feature PLEX is offering for music. ...

That could be a benefit of a Forum-Request-Board: Giving JRiver direction to find the "next big thing"

@Awesome Donkey
I agree on Cloudplay and that heavy work would be needed. ... And again... I believe a company would like to understand as good as possible the market for a new feature BEFORE investing a lot of work ....  :)

David Sydney:
I realise that this is not simple, and has many technical hurdles with 3rd parties, but what I request... may be wish list is a better description... is some integration somehow playlists between non media file collections eg. spotify, Youtube, vinyl, Dicogs lists with Media Centre. ie. I would like to be able to manage a catalogue and playlists of items that are not stored as media files on a hard drive. Idealy be able to jump to those of they are URLs or similar? I have tried to do this several times with the built in Youtube page, with last years. upgrade to Edge allowing permanent log in, but youtube stays in the page and won't jump out to the Playing now windows so I can save the URL

Make sense - I have asked similar questions on this in the forum before to no avail?
