More > JRiver Media Center 18 for Mac
What's your feature request?
jtwrace:
I thought it would be good to start a feature request wish list for JRiver MC (Mac) users. Obviously this is just a wish list from us users and therefore no guarantee but maybe if there are enough repeats of the same request, it will happen.
I want Vinyl Conversion.

I.e. I put a record on top of my computer and hey presto it ends up in MC library?
Sorry for the snark, I know that's not what you mean, but recording, editing, and cleanup/restoration aren't the kinds of things a media library/server/player does.

I'm just gunna throw this out there and let it be.
My suggestion is to let each end user configure/add those (group of related) features which will actually be used.
This is an expansion of what you already are doing with DSP Studio.
For example I have no need nor desire for any of the video related functions, at all.
So why should I have to see and navigate around all of the setup and controls for something I have no use for?
In other words let the user pick and choose what groups of features (s)he actually needs.
My needs are very simple so my list of functions should be simple as well. If I were to want to add more functionality at a later time all I'd need to do was 'add' them to my version of MC.
Yes I realize this would be a re-organization and a re-write of the basic 'engine' that is MC.
But this single idea, if picked up and run with, would forever set you apart from all others, not to mention 'modularize' how updates and new features are added etc.
Just a thought or 2 or 3

Are you talking about the perennial request for a simplified interface for the audiophile only set?

I'm not a Mac user but the PC model should be applied to Mac by default, I would have thought ?
Potentially some other entries along similarly relevant lines:

One of the big pluses that I give MC is the designed in flexibility and if it's not there, you can ask for it. Need will generally drive, how it comes to pass.

And you shall have it ... if that is your desire but I'd be looking elsewhere. Such as here for good advice:
http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/486-guide-converting-analog-vinyl-digital-files-using-windows/
The poster of the guide above is an MC user and occasionally pops up on Interact. From my reading of his advice in general, is that it's well thought out and aimed at easy repeatability for minimal cost. You might have a challenge with Mac but if you ask nicely, you'll probably get some suitably helpful clues.
You'd probably find that there are a range of good reasons why MC hasn't already gone down the path you're asking for. I'll leave others in the know to explain why. All the best in sorting things out for yourself.. ;)
