Does JRiver have the ability,ie: like other apps do, to show a list of similar and related genres and artists that I am currently listening to, from my library?

[Matt]

You can right-click a file and pick Locate > Genre.

You can type a genre into Play Doctor and it will make a mix.

Cheers mate

I have used JRiver for a long time mate. I mostly just dragged and dropped files to play, because for the high quality, it cannot be beaten. I played with the  library a bit, but was even lazier back then than I am now lol

The library takes forever to build, but several nights ago I had another insomnia bout and decided if I am awake all nite I may as well do this

At the same time as u may see I was sussing the media server out to play files in another room

Also can't be beat for hi-res video and atmos audio, ISOs, and the whole show.

Looks like I need to sus this "play doctor out"

Cheers

This play doctor has me intrigued

But "You can find Play Doctor in the Playing Now pane when no media is playing. If it is not visible, look for two small up and down arrows at the very top of the pane. Click on the right down arrow and Play Doctor will appear." that does not find play doctor

Has it moved for Version 31?

Hey Mate,
At least in U.S. English, "mate" refers to someone you have sex with.  FYI.

Click on Playing Now in the Tree on the left.

Right click and "Clear Playing Now" if necessary.

I live in Canada, we are very British here and my gramps was a British WW2 vet who was given a huge hand in raising us. Some of the words and terms he used would confuse our American relatives and it confused me cuz Gramps and my folks used them a lot

Fa*s were cigarettes and mate was a friend, similar to bro(It also comes from ower German "gemate"

The first few xs I said "Fa*s" Man I got looks lol

 .I have family in Jersey and the South and they have never told me that when I used that word LOL Maybe I was given a pass

On social media no one has ever called me on that word until now

OK I digress

Thanks for your continued help

I am really diving into JRiver this time and man it does so much

Your advice works perfectly

PS If you prefer I will not use the address mate with you.It is so 2nd nature it just rolls out after 60 some years of saying it

Remind me not to look for a roommate in US!

leperlord - you need to be extremely careful when using UK Slang/abbreviations outside of the UK.

Yes a Mate is a good friend/pal but it should only be used when in face to face with that person and certainly should not be used in/on the Forums/Boards.

And whilst the word Fag is an abbreviation for the word Cigarette to call someone a Fag is to accuse them of being Gay

But the same applies the other way round for example in American slang "patting somebody on the fanny" is another way of saying "patting them on the backside" but saying it to somebody in the UK, especially a female, will get you a good hard slap on the face, because in UK Slang the fanny is a reference to their sexual organs.

"That left a bad taste in my a**" lol

I love your username btw

I have used "mate" on social media since day one many years ago.I do not think I have said anything else when being familiar/friendly. Maybe bro, but one has to be careful with that one based on what is or how one identifies

My grandson tho, I think he was 3 or 4,in the most respectful way he called my daughter-in-law "Dude " or "bro" IE "WOW thanks dude" Or "Thanks bro".He is a character and keeps me laughing

I have heard some of my Brit family say "front  Fanny" LOL. You obviously know what that is.

I absolutely love the Brits and what they do with their own language

My very Brit gramps raised me on the BBC starting in the 1960s, so all the old classics. I now as an adult have binders of BBC classics in my closet.

He used to tell me "Mate,you will never find a girl as good as an English rose" He was correct,and she tore my heart out for 11 years then left lol
