So, I LOVE JRiver Meda Center. I have been using it since at least version 6 or 7. And, I have turned numerous people on to it. I use it daily, contantly. But, the thing is, is that it already does everything I need it to do - very well (with 1 exception which I will get to). So far I have not seen any features in V.17 that are enticing me to spend my money on it. I really just use it for music and not really as a HTPC. Now I have a certain loyalty to JRiver that makes me just want to get the new version - to renew my subscription, if you will - just so they can keep going as a business model. But, really, JRiver has sort of improved past my requirements.
Maybe I am just thinking in an old fashioned manner and the HTPC functions are the wave of the future and all but, well, the $27 bucks is a big deal for me at this time.
Maybe I can just wait for V.18 and see if there is anything that makes me need to upgrade then.
So, I would like to know if a certain feature which I really liked and, which has not worked since V.15 is going to work in V.17.
If this works, I will gladly upgrade but, if not, I'll keep putting it off until my need to download YouTube videos finally gets to me -o r, V.18. (I noticed YouTube has changed their format again so we can't click and download and, I assume JRiver is not going to fix this in V.16 anymore).
SO, here is the thing I need to know: does the Album Art come accross on the client side of the media server in the configurable visualizations? I have asked about this numerous times over the last couple of years and JRiver has never responded. This time, I hope they will.
