JRiver Users Speak

JRiver Media Center 17 users know what they like!

"It just proves , I guess that when you apply imagination with equal parts passion, you can do anything. I am now an evangelist for JRiver, I thought I had reached the pinnacle with Foobar 2000. Obviously not. J River moved me into enjoying computer audio, it is an essential component now and for always." -- samtheman57

"Congratulations and thanks for making such a wonderful piece of software! I recently discovered Media Center 17's ability to convert my WMA Lossless rips and FLAC downloads to high quality VBR mp3s for syncing to the memory card on my Android phone. Combining this with high quality aptX streaming to my portable Bluetooth speaker or through a set of high quality ear-buds, I'm FINALLY happy with the sound of mp3s while on the road. Bravo to JRiver!" -- alvester

My email was automatically sent to my Junk email folder by Outlook, FYI.  I assume something about the format or content spooked Microsoft.

Just install MC17.  The rest should be automatic.  Theater View settings will be reset so you will need to set it up again if you have customized it.  Everything else should transfer.

If you'e not happy after installing, you can just uninstall MC17 and go on using MC16.

Question about upgrades vs updates: I've purchased MC 17, but i'm curious how long I'm entitled to free updates? Are all ver 17.xxxx free? Is it time based - upgrades/updates for 1 yr?

I'm guessing ver 17.xxx would be upDATES = Free

ver 18.xxx+ would be an upGRADES = Upgrade pricing

Sorry for such a simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

That's correct.

Thanks for the purchase.
