I'm a big fan of the secure ripping in JRiver.

What do you think is the best CD ripping program?  The ones I know of are DP PowerAmp, Exact Audio Copy, and JRiver.

I think I used to use DP Poweramp and EAC the most before.  I tried to download EAC just now but it seems to come with a lot of extra free trial programs I don't want so will have to think about it.

Does one have advantages over the other?  DP PowerAmp seems to be pretty good but it does not appear to have changed much in the last 15 years.

You can use grouping only in views. Playing now and other playlist you can only sort. So your options there is like zybex described

Drugo,

The previous email answers those questions, please read/translate it carefully.

The screenshot on the previous post shows the sort order, notice the small numbers (1,2,3,4) next to each column. Those show up when you click on them - first on Track#, then on FileType, then Album, ten Artist - the numbers will change as you click on the columns.

Yes, you should keep the SEQ column as that shows you the actual play order, which can be different from the listed order.

To avoid having to sort every time, you should use Playlists and Views.

hi
can i save the preset like your screenshot and set as default ?
but @lepa was talking about group too

If that is the case you can create new calculated library field with rule [Album Artist (auto)] - [Album] /[[File Type]/] and use that to group your files

in this case , i can group a playlist or smartplaylist and if i send albums from these playlist/smart , will i have separated albums too ?
by the way ,it's very powerful jriver
there is even (in the screenshot)  multiple horizontal columns like  itunes , but i don't know how
i'm reading here https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/View_Schemes
thanks Zybex

On a Windows MC Client, I can change to a different "User" than the Server by clicking View > User > click another User. But on Android remotes (or Panel), there is no control over this. The remote is permanently fixed on the current User of the Server, and cannot be changed.

Can JRiver please figure out how to have this User functionality on remotes 

Yeah, I only need ASIO to be exclusive to workaround the audio renderer errors that appear attempting start video playback on YouTube in Chrome while using WASAPI exclusive, for example. I've explored other options but unfortunately I don't think there's any way around it other than ASIO exclusive. Schiit's ASIO worked beautifully this way but unfortunately for me DSD in my library became a thing.

I agree.  Here's how:

The way I would do it is to set MC on the new computer to use a remote library, pointed to the library on the first computer. Someone else may have a different solution.

Thanks for the description, HPBEME.

Whenever you're in a generous mood, you should share that spotlight icon of yours! 

Currently, I'm running MC on...

I use this install on my laptop mostly for queries to the MC database residing on the MC server (a Windows desktop).

I am using this install of MC on Linux to get a feel of how it works because I may be replacing the Windows PC in my entertainment center with a Linux PC due to the ridiculously onerous Windows 11 hardware requirements.

One question I do have...

I've no qualms abut running plain ole Debian on that entertainment center PC.  But Debian supports many window managers.  Is one preferred over the other?  My requirements are that that PC runs MC well.  No other needs for that PC.

Is there a recommended or preferred windows manager under Debian?
