I just wanted to drop a message here to let the developers know how much I love this application.
I have been using Media Center for 4-5 years now, and have always loved it. On my Android phone, I was using Gizmo. I thought it was great, but was disappointed that I couldn't rate songs and that the navigation wasn't quite as good as it might be.
When T-Mobile started carrying the iPhone, I ultimately decided on it based on the good things I'd heard about JRemote. It's a darn expensive phone, but, I have to say, it's been worth it. JRemote is absolutely perfect. I'm an obsessive music collector in heaven.
I ended up upgrading to Media Center 18 from version 16, so that I could use all of the functioning of JRemote.
The navigation is seamless. I can rate or tag songs, edit playlists, and search through my library with ease.
Best of all (these two things blow me away): I can sit on my back porch, connect to my wi-fi network, and stream FLAC files right to the phone. Plug my headphones into the phone and I'm listening to lossless music. Second, when I'm riding the bus, I can use JRemote to connect to my Media Network through my cellular data network, have the music transcoded to 128k, and listen to anything in my library. Is there a need to use iTunes on my iPhone? Not that I can see.
Kudos to the developers of JRemote, and, of course, to the JRiver team for the great latest version of Media Center.
