More > JRiver Media Center 20 for Linux
Status of the new Linux version
tlcmd:
HOORAH!!! I want it!!!
rinring:
That's good news. :)
Two years ago I switched from Windows to Linux.
The only missing software was Media Jukebox.
Media Jukebox runs quite well under Wine, but this isn't optimal.
How long will be updates available without paying more, if I purchase now?
Screwbottle:
This is indeed very good news for the Linux community, to have a media player of the quality of JRiver usable with it. I run Ubuntu 13.04 as my default O/S but I dual boot to Windows 7 Ultimate, due to my business and my customers, this both on my home/office desktops and my laptops.
But I am saddened at pricing according to the email I have just received. Surely you will be considering long standing customers with an existing licensed version for Windows etc, to be granted a discount for those of us with Linux as well. I understand a brand new user with Linux, to be charged full price, but I am hoping this will not be the case for existing customers.

+1 :)
i sadly had to leave MC circa V14 after years and years of using MC since i went all on the switch to linux (and lovin' it ever since)
i agree that a switch discount would be great and help alot of people move over and try the linux version
Also, out of curiosity, why is the linux version which is audio only priced like the full windows MC, will the price include all versions until its up to part with the windows MC (with videos,home theatre etc..)
and lastly, if i buy it will it run on non debian distros (im using the pretty popular Arch linux)
best

We won't know which flavors we'll support for a few more months.
No cross-OS discounts are available.
The price is the price. Sorry if it's too much for you.
