Seriously? I *just purchased this software and now I'm being asked to upgrade!?

<< < (10/10)

Instead of looking at it as "I missed out on free updates," one should pity the people who got those updates.
THEY were the ones who had to live with an inferior product (compared to the one OP bought in its finished version) for the best part of a year!
They were the ones who had to endure and report the bugs and experience fewer features compared to build 181. Now with Version 17 we have to suffer the process once again.
I guarantee that the current build of MC17 is far inferior to a future build 1XX. Yet for most of the time I'll use version 17, I will be using one of these inferior builds. Pity us early adopters. :)

Regret, now totally over being ripped off.

Look like we heading for a upgrade every quarter and then a monthly subscription.

I'm not sure you were being serious, but...

MC 16.0.1 was released on 12/20/2010, not in August.  By your standards, no company could ever release a new version of a product, because someone always bought the old version a few months ago.

I have not read everything in this thread, actually pretty much just the topic/heading. I just wanted to say that I am happy to pay what is asked by JRiver, and I use only a tiny fraction of what MC is capable of.

The yearly MC "tax" does not worry me. What I am worried about with such an experienced development team is if the developers have begun to teach their children the secrets of MC coding and the JRiver business model...

I have invested much time and effort using software that just stopped being developed further. To have faith in the ability to provide continuous development is to me more important than the modest fee I have to pay to JRiver occasionally (and the "back door" of keeping as much info as I can in the tags of my music files instead of just in a proprietary database).

Thanks.
