If you've grown to love Media Jukebox, please consider JRiver Media Center.

I have seiously considered it but I have not been able to identify a compelling reason. I use Jukebox for ripping music to my Stora network drive and organizing it and for syncing my iPod and I love it. I also use it to manage a subset music library that I keep on my laptop. I only use it for music, no video, photos etc. I use a Squeezebox Touch for 95% of my playback and only very occasionally use my laptop directly into my USB DAC with Jukebox. So for my usage profile what would MC provide that Jukebox does not?

I am interested in anmy responses to the above post. I too only need a media player for ripping my music collection and organizing it and playing tunes. I downloaded Media Center 16 yesterday, but it seems to be a lot more than I really need.
What are the biggest differences between MC 16 and Media Jukebox?
JimH:
As Matt says, "because it's nice to support JRiver". We have kids and dogs.
Seriously, there are a wealth of features. I'll try to fill this in over the next few days.
Much better support for Vista and Win7. Think UAC.
Audiophile quality with ASIO, Kernel Streaming, WASAPI.

JimH:
MC16 has a customizable Theater View with many options. It includes a 3D view called ShowRoom that can be flicked left and right on a touch screen.

This is ideal for use across the room when controlled by JRiver's Media Center Remote or with Gizmo on Android.
