As Media Jukebox v8 nears release candidate status...
« on: April 08, 2002, 01:33:56 pm »

I remember when Media Jukebox version 7.2 was released, there was quite a bit of fanfare surrounding it.  There was also quite a long bug list that had not been resolved.  I got the distinct feeling that 7.2.272 had some kind of deadline to meet for a release date; possibly in time to make a review deadline.  I saw only one minor patch for compatibility with Windows XP and then all work appeared to go into version 8, effectively abandoning improvement of version 7.x.

I like Media Jukebox; it is the one program closest to filling my music organizing/playing needs that I have found; in fact, it can do more than I need or use.  I would hate to see it get a poor rep because it was rushed to market too soon.  Please, with version 8, do the end users and JRiver a favor and don't rush it out the door before it is ready.

In closing, my congratulations to all involved in developing this version 8 of Media Jukebox.  I stand in awe of the work and progress accomplished by the JRiver team and the Interact community.

It will still be a few weeks before we release, but it now seems that V8 is stable.  I would now recommend it, without hesitation, over 7.2.  

BTW, there was no deadline.  The last bugs can't be found until a product has been released.  Witness numerous fixes for Windows.

Like anything else, we could go on working on it forever, but at some point we have to say "done".

Remember that not all problems experienced are bugs in MJ.

It'd be cool if, in celebration of the release, that the wish list shortly thereafter gets flushed or re-org'd, and there's some kind of Official Notification that the Wild Rumpus can now begin about what might possibly be added to or improved upon in 8, for consideration in 9. Any chance of that occurring?

I think once MJ8 gets released, the guys are gonna go get wasted and cause havoc in mpls. Then when there's time, they might start to think about 8.1.

I may just have to crash that party...
