Has anyone (either JRiver marketing, or in the press, or on this forum) written up a thorough analysis of the differences between Windows Media Center and J River media center?
I live near Redmond, WA and I know what my Microsoft friends will say when I show them my JRiver theater view awesomeness.
"Media Center can do that better, XBOX, XBOX, bla bla bla"
Not that I'm down on Microsoft, they make some awesome stuff, but I know their media center can't do all that J River can.
I was initially drawn to JRiver by my HiFi friends who were talking about its support of USB DAC's, lossless FLAC ripping, and 96/24 stereo audio support. Then I found that it worked well with my Synology NAS, and from there I found it could play any video file I threw at it without any configuration (particularly in version 17 it got much better). Now I have it in the living room on Theater View and I'm ripping DVD's to it and watching TV on it.
