JRiver Media Center for Mac version 18.0.139 Alpha -- Available Here
Mighty_A-MAN:
Hi Jim and everyone at JRiver,
I'm a fan of JRiver since Media Jukebox 6. I used Media Center to sync my iPods, but with the purchase of iPhones and iPads I unfortunately had to change sides, using Media Center only rarely on some Windows PCs or with Parallels on my Mac, e.g. in order to save/convert stuff to SD cards for my car audio.
Well, it's great to see that JRiver's Media Center finally arrived on Mac. Congratulations and thanks for your efforts. Hopefully the program will grow quickly and be a perfect match to it's Window's mother for the audio area, soon.
A first five minutes test put a smile onto my faces. Sure, I've found some issues already and on a MacBook Pro Retina it does look, well, a bit rough. But hey, that's surely the least of the things that matter right now.
Maybe I should know better, but I'm irritated that I can't use my system's volume/mute keys anymore. Is that a bug or caused by the way the program works (at least at the moment)?
Well, JRiver, congratulations again to finally making the step over to the Mac. I hope it'll pay out well financially and that we Mac users won't face a too rough first weeks/months using Media Center. My early bird was flying my money over already by the way. And while I don't know yet exactly how my future workflow will be using both iTunes (for syncing with iPhones/iPads) and Media Center (for at least providing converted files on SD cards for the cars' audio systems), at least I won't need to run Media Center in Parallels, but straight on Mac OS X.
All the best from Germany,
Mighty A-MAN

Hi Cubbie,

First thing I noticed is that I can't minimize the app to the dock, th eminimize button in the upper left corner does nothing for me & double clicking the title bar does nothing...

I also have a rMBP and the same issue. I presume that currently only the X button works and that the issue isn't linked to the rMBP. I will check on my iMac later, but I really think it's a universal, though small, issue.
Edit: The Full Screen button does work when I switch to a higher resolution (1920 and higher).

My understanding is that the first version doesn't need to be registered as it times out in March automatically anyway. Until then you can simply use the full product. On the next version you might need the Registration Code/Install Key.
Best regards,

Ohhh, that's right, Re: registration for the first alpha release... I now remember reading that somewhere.
Predictably, the UI is beyond rough right now, and I've been a Mac guy for so long it's taking me a bit to get used to menus & other options in windows-based MC, but still gotta say, when the music is actually playing, I like this better than iTunes. Maybe placebo, I don't know, but I'm looking forward to taking this journey w/ all of you.

I can't select different tracks with my trackpad, or for that matter selecting anything with the mouse. I have to navigate the interface with the keyboard.
