More > JRiver Media Center 21 for Windows
Idea: JRiver Music Player?
AlexS:
I think you guys would make a lot more money doing a free version without time limitation. Give it bare minimum of features, no more features than MS windows media player.
People are looking for media center replacements, they are likely to want free apps, and they will probably end up considering buying for extended features if a free app is placed in front of their noses.
Most people I know who use windows have never heard of jriver, you should correct this.

This already exists more or less in the form of media jukebox: http://www.jriver.com/mj/

This has been tried. mwillems pointed to the last version. It did not have a significant impact on sales (may have actually made them worse).
The freemium approach doesn't make sense for any business that can't eventually reach millions of users.
AlexS:
That may be, but there are a lot of people looking for media center replacements with Windows 10 flying around right now. If they don't know your product they won't buy your product. Most don't even look beyond their noses.
The only reason I found out about JRiver myself is that I did a google after having enough of the M$ media center.... realising development on it had totally ground to a halt.
Awesome Donkey:
There's way too many free Windows Media Center replacements out there like Kodi already - I'd say the market is saturated.
