After reading the
Request for 3D thread, I noticed some statements that I think are important:
The powers to be within this organization tend to spend lots of time adding audio features, most of the feature in audio, I do not even use and to be frank, most forum members do not use some of these features. What a waste of time.
I guess it's all in your perception. The way I see it, the last few years have been mostly video and ui upgrades (looking at the log for the new builds). These things aren't a priority for me but I know they are for many so I really don't make a big deal about it.
It seems that I'm not the only one that thinks that there is a problem with the kind feature requests are handled. I have seen many useful feature requests that would be easy to implement, that would greatly improve MC, but were ignored.
I think that feature requests should be made fairer. With the current in use +1 posts, it is not really possible to determine how many users would appreciate the implementation of a certain feature.
I think the best solution would be to have a feature request tracker. Users could post and comment requests. It would also be possible to give every user a specific number of votes for the purchase/upgrade of a JRiver product like MC or JRemote. This votes could be used by users to favour either their own or the requests made by other users.
Feature requests with a high vote-to-implementation-effort-ratio can than be prioritized by JRiver to be implemented in future versions.
Of course, such a system could also serve as a bug tracker....
