Thanks to all of you, JRiver has had a very big year. It wasn't just the
Omaha Steaks (congratulations to glynor and MrC and Happy Anniversary, Mojave).
We're on the verge of having a
cross platform code base. If you've thought, oh why are they doing that, think Mac, Linux, and phones and tablets. It won't happen all this coming year, but we will probably nail at least one of those a year now. To put this in perspective, JRiver has been talking about doing this for almost ten years. We're on our way now.
We had
some great reviews and won
a couple of three Best of 2012 awards.
We made a lot of new friends among the manufacturers of high end audio equipment.
DSD was an important piece of this. We owe Chris Connaker of
Computeraudiophile and Steve Silberman of
Audioquest for some of the early assists. I remarked the other day that JRiver used to have a tough time getting any attention from manufacturers, but we now have a steady stream of new inquiries from them.
We launched MC18 recently, and last week we gave it a really good push to our customer base. The response was great, but it also generated a new wave of bug reports. This isn't the best news, but it's normal. Until we hit the widest distribution, there are bound to be new discoveries. We will fix these bugs in the next week or two. Thank you for your patience and for the reports.
As announced in the last newsletter, I'm going into
slow motion retirement, and Matt Ashland, our CTO, is now captain of the ship. Matt is bigger, stronger, smarter, smells better and is just generally a great guy. He will steer JRiver with wisdom and kindness, I'm sure.
