I am absolutely in favor of the complete media manager idea BUT the only problem I see is this. Every other program that ive ever seen that gets into dealing with multiple handling capabilities has been done very wrong. They are buggy and worst of all in trying to incorporate everything into one program, they lose A LOT of functionality. Case in point, Real Jukebox was a great program (before I discovered MJ that is) then Real Networks got into working on RealOne and i personally believe the took a HUGE step in the wrong direction. OF COURSE if it had been handled correctly, im sure RealOne would be a great program. I often find that in order to get max functionality, using specialty programs for each function works better. Now thats not saying that MJ cant be a great Media Manager, but you guys are going to have to stay on the forefront with FUNCTIONALITY being the key word. I say if youre going to go for it, dive in head first but keep your eyes wide open just as you have thus far. I for one would be absolutely estatic to have a program with the functionality and detailed options as Nero, EAC, ThumbsPlus(not an ACDSee fan here), PowerDVD, etc., etc., etc. You guys also have one up on every other company out there, that being your customer support. It is absolutely unparalleled. Microsoft could only dream of being so consumer savvy. So in conclusion, I say FUL STEAM AHEAD!!! Just dont let functionality fall behind and your eyes for detail become clouded. All hail Media Jukebox and JRiver.
