Is the "User Manual" http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center kept up to date or should someone starting out just stick to the "Getting Started" page http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php?title=Getting_Started?

Has anyone put together videos for noobs?

Any tips? Below is some hopefully helpful info on how I think I'll use JR and my equipment.

TIA!

Windows 7 (both XPS desktop and laptop have plenty of RAM)
300 or so CD's to rip at some point in time.
Subscription to MOG and sometimes listen to other inter-net stations.
PC > DAC > Headphone Amp > Sennheiser HD 650's
PC > DAC > Denon 3806 AVR
Will want to use EQ and DSP after I get the basics down.

The wiki topic called "Getting Started" is a good resource for beginners.  "Up and Running" is for intermediates.  Both are linked in my signature.

A decent user manual in PDF format, downloadable and updated with each new release, is definitely required. Media Center ranks second to none but support in this area could be a lot better. The GUI is definitely "challenging" for new users and  Wiki's "user manual" is NOT kept up to date.  :'(

We have no plans to anything other than the online manual.  Did you try the articles I mentioned above?

To answer the other question, the information is not always kept up-to-date.
