JRiver Media Center 19 Mac Special Price for Upgrades
Philthy:
Is video expected for MC19? I am perfectly happy with everything audio related since the DAC issues got straightened out. Now I just have a pile of videos in various formats that I'd like to be able to play. I was expecting this to be a part of MC18, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over this. You have delivered more for less as it stands, so I wont have too much of a problem tossing more money for MC19 if it adds all the video features.
shawtimothy:
One feature that I need is dragging & dropping of songs from iTunes. It's not clear to me if/when you'll offer this feature. A feature I want is access to my iTunes playlists from within MC, or an easy path to carry them over (dragging & dropping would work).

Like this one about the UI:

Or this one about scope and waiting until you're happy to upgrade:

etc.

I'm inferring from what I've seen posted, that you don't have a detailed roadmap for the product development path (e.g. you anticipated incorporating CD ripping in MC 18, but abandoned this when it proved too complicated), and so I can't upgrade now in anticipation of what features MC 19 will include. I'm being offered to either upgrade now and take my chances on what MC 19 will actually incorporate, or wait until you have a version with the feature set I can accept before considering a purchase.
--- Quote ---Our scope for MC18 was audio playback and Media Network.

I wish this and the further details that are only recently apparent, had been clearer to me up-front.

i'm sure it was stated clearly for me to read when I purchased jriver mc for mac, but didn't realize the license model is that major upgrades come with a full price tag. existing customers get a discount by way of the early bird special, but that's probably a discretionary offer. that is, no guarantee that when mc 20 comes out that I'll be offered an early bird special. correct?
not a bad price in the grand scheme of things. but have one question. if I want to skip mc 19 altogether and wait for mc 20...would i be eligible for said early bird special assuming one is offered? or, early bird specials are afforded to holders of most recent release?

Major upgrades aren't full price, they're generally $26.98 USD, full price is generally $49.98.
Early bird specials are generally for license holders of any previous version, not just the most recent.
Oksana:
I've been purchasing MC for my PC, but I'd like to use it on my Macbook. Is there any discount off of full retail for a person who has purchased a PC license?
