MC32 is now available
Please see below for upgrade prices from previous versions.
You can now use a Registration Code from any previous version of JRiver Media Center, even Media Jukebox 8.0, to upgrade at a discount. You can retrieve your Registration Code from our server (see below).
INSTRUCTIONS
Are you planning to use more than one OS?
If so, you will need a Master License, which works with Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can purchase from the Help menu of a current version or you can go here:
Master License Upgrade (https://jriver.com/purchase_32_master_as_upgrade.html) (direct link) $37.98.
Or do you only need Windows or only Mac or only Linux?
Then you can get the new license here:
Windows Upgrade (https://jriver.com/purchase_32_as_upgrade.html) (direct link) $27.98.
Mac Upgrade (https://www.jriver.com/purchase_32_mac_as_upgrade.html) (direct link) $27.98.
Linux Upgrade (https://www.jriver.com/purchase_32_linux_as_upgrade.html) (direct link) $27.98.
PROBLEMS?
This MC32 license will also work with MC31.0.83 or above.
Is your old license not accepted when you upgrade?
Make sure you're on the right upgrade page.
Use copy and paste with the license. 0 (zero) and O (letter) look alike. So do 1 (number one) and l or I (letters).
Don't have your license? Visit the Restore Page (https://rover.jriver.com/cgi-bin/restore.cgi) and use option #2 to email yourself your license(s).
If you need more help, please read this thread and ask questions there: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,138288.0.html

Purchased :)
Keep up the good work!

Tried to purchase with PayPal but the process said that it failed, however, according to PayPal the purchase went thru. What gives?
update: I did receive the license from JRiver so all is good.

update: I did receive the license from JRiver so all is good.
I had the same failed message, got me worried at first. But I got the JRiver license key in an email a few minutes later. So all good now.
-
I also experienced this weird message from paypal after paying for upgrade.
But then got email from paypal with transaction confirmation and few moments later email from JRiver with new licence.
So... everything is fine.
I just upgraded Windows licence to Master. Will do more experiments with Linux version soon.

I knew this year was going to be the year where I was the guy who just upgraded to 31 a month ago and now 32 is out.

You have mail.

You guys are all right.

I have Media Center 31 Master, but I would like to check something.
Since I have a Master license, I can upgrade to MC32 for free, right? Furthermore, there is no need to restore the license, and the new version can be installed using the Registration Code of MC31 Master, right?
I'll ask you one more thing. Will I have to download and manually install MC32 when the time comes? Or will it automatically switch to MC32 with a normal update?
-
If you just bought MC31, you have an MC32 license. Retrieve your license from the Restore Page.
When MC32 is available, we will send you instructions. Just download and install then.
-
Thx, Jim
got it
I'm looking forward to the release of MC32.
-
I had a misunderstanding.
I purchased the MC31 Master License on April 27, 2023, so I have to repurchase the upgrade to MC32.
Also, since it was purchased 7 months ago, I feel like it should be a little cheaper. .
-
I would be happy to upgrade but I have three issues:
A) When I select several files in the explorer to play them, frequently, the playing order is random and not the right sequence (in classical you have random order of the movements of a piece and is not funny)
C) I can not add files to the playing list (you know VLC? is does it perfectly) (I know if I select the files from JRiver directly is different and works, but I mostly work with the explorer).
D) I bought a master license because I wanted to install in three PC one of them Linux (Kubuntu release) I need a way to install the SW in this release without being a SW Engineer. I am Just an user and I don't understand a thing of what you want me to do. Is in the new release just as easy as in Windows?
Thanks
-
For the Kubuntu install, use the installJRMC script that can be found in the MC31 for Linux section. Look at that thread for instructions. :)

With respect: You are doing it wrong. Using Explorer is not how MC was designed to be used. Explorer integration is an afterthought. It's there so that people can use just the very basics. It will always have different behavior than the main MC interface. If you don't want to use the MC interface, you probably should use another player. I accept that you might not want the power of the MC interface and you "just want to use Explorer". In that case, there's little reason to use MC. 90% of the power of MC is the interface.
Best of luck to you,
Brian.

They get handled in the order they come from Explorer today.
I'll add this to MC32:
NEW: Added an advanced option to sort incoming playback files because the order coming from shell extensions could be shuffled.
That way it will use the tags in MC to sort any incoming files.
Thanks for the help.

FYI, after a PayPal issue and delayed MC 32 License email (straightened out with Deanna's help), I went to plug in the new registration code into MC 31, I received the following error dialog box:
"You are using Media Center 31 Windows to install a license for a different version. Please download and install the version that matches your license, and then try again."
This has worked the dozen or so times I've done it in the past when upgrading early and waiting for the new MC version.
Thanks, Dale
-
You need to download and install MC 31.0.83 or higher.
-
Sorry, pretty obvious reading through the posts now! Worked perfectly.
-
Nice!

Nice, keep up the good work. Still the best media metadata wrangling tool available!

Is it ok with a paid MC30 license to to buy the MC32 license then dl MC 31 and apply it? Dad was born in 1920 and these pesky old school values keep asserting themselves.
-

Yes. MC32 will find the license when you install it and copy your setup from MC31.
-
I accept that you might not want the power of the MC interface and you "just want to use Explorer". In that case, there's little reason to use MC. 90% of the power of MC is the interface.
Some people just want to benefit from the video playback capabilities of MC, with its unique JRVR video renderer, and the ability to play BluRay discs with menus. There is no alternative player that has both these features.
Some such people (like me) don't care at all about the media database features of MC, and find your statement just as offending as you probably find mine.

I bought JRiver MediaCenter Licence last year, but my MediaCenter still working as MC30 (don't know why I'm not upgraded automatically to MC31...).
Can I upgrade to MC32 ? And how!

You need to download and install MC31. Then restore your license. Details are in that post.

I just purchase, today 8 december 2023, a MC32 licence.
My actual version is MC29.
When I click on the '****.mjr' sent to me when purchasing, I got the the following error but my actual version is MC29 not MC30.
Is it correct I bought the wrong upgrade, ie not available for MC29 ?
-
Please read the first post. Download and install MC31.
-

All licenses are now MC32. They also work with MC31.0.83 or higher. So just purchase MC31.

I went through the Restore process with the email I used in the upgrade order, but still did not receive a reply email with the new license.
The email address I ordered with is: [removed]
Thanks for your help

Nothing in spam. I tried the other email I use, but nothing returned.
Since I used paypal, I also sent the paypal transaction id and enail used with no results.

I just re-sent your licenses to the arr* address.

I just re-sent your licenses to the arr* address.
That is strange. I never received the email. the arr* email is the one I've used to purchase upgrades in the past.
The last successful email I received at that address from JRiver was on December 1st. I downloaded MC31 to a new computer, providing my v31 license. it included an MC31 mjr file.
The arrl email is an alias, which points to my provider email. I am currently receiving emails to that address, so there is no problem with it.
Checked spam for MC emails, and they are not being diverted.
When I upgraded to v32, I provided my address, email address, and cell phone, so I must be on file. I was redirected to paypal for payment, which was completed. I was then redirected back to JRiver, but that's were it ended. no emails....
Is it possible that there was an issue in processing my order on the JRiver side, even though I was routed to Paypal for payment?
That's the only thing I can think of...
Bill

Your purchase was completed. The problem is probably the email provider.
I can change your address if you send me an email. jimh at jriver

I currently use Media Center 28 and would like to upgrade to 32 in January, talk to me like I am a third grader, I am not a computer guru, what do I need to do to update, will I have to put my movies, tv shows and music back into the new program or does it just move over? Thank You
-
1) Follow the links in the first post to purchase the upgrade you want (windows, mac. etc)
2) In your current MC 28 go to File->Library->Backup Library --OR-- press Ctrl+Shift+B
3) Install the new version you just bought then File->Library->Restore Library
I am going off memory and I think some options might pop up as you do this but can't remember the specifics. If you buy it now you will get a key that will let you use MC31 and 32. To reduce the number of times you need to do this you should wait until MC32 is actually out before doing the upgrade. Or you can practice by upgrading to 31 first.
The good news is that your copy of MC28 should keep on working even after you upgrade in case you have problems.
-
Thanks so much, will do.
-
I have tried multiple times to purchase a windows upgrade to MC32. I have tried multiple credit cards and they all come back as failed transaction.
-
Sorry about that. Please ask your bank. We have no information.
-
Just downloaded 31 to try and WOW!!! I am impressed ! Now I see that there is a (Beta) version of 32 that I would like to download and use. will my code work on both versions? How shall I proceed?
-
A license for MC31 will not work for MC32. See the first post if you want to upgrade.

I bought a Linux only licence for MC32 on Jan 28 2024 with the special upgrade price, but I should have bought the Master Licence. My mistake. Is there anyway I can change that and pay the difference to get a Master Licence?

MC32 is now available
Great news, have just purchased a licence for MC32
I use 29 currently
The 32 installed failed immediately on clicking the download file. Because, it said, the licence I was using was for 30 and I needed to install that (30) version. I have installed 30, but when I try to licence it, the code I have (for29) isn't valid. Not surprising. I've not entered my code for 32, so wonder why it doesn't let me run the install even for a trial. I'm in a loop, can anyone suggest a way through

I bought the 32 version, I'm trying to install it but doesn't succeed. Windows asks me if I allow to make changes at the computer, I say yes and nothing happens...

Probably a problem with Windows Defender. Update it.

Hi guys. I have an old version of Windows JRiver with code 26.26.0.107 and I want to know if it is possible to get a MAC version for the update. I really enjoy JR, but due to work reasons I had to change the operating system.
Thank you very much in advance for your response.

Yes

I am running latest version of JRMC31 and just purchased upgrade to with mjr in DOWNLOADS folder. I received emails with both LICENSE and REGISTRATION.
When I click on the INSTALLER, system goes off somewhere and never shows 32 as being installed?!
I seem to have this issue every time I try to install an upgrade.

That's probably an antivirus problem. Update Windows Defender. Don't use anything else.
Download MC32. Run the exe file. Then restore. Details are here:

Hi,
In reading through forum posts and some instructions, they never mention the versioning of the OS. Is that because it is not dependent upon OS Versioning?
I have MC26 at the moment running on MacBook Pro 10.15.7 Catalina and Windows 7.
Will MC32 run on these two versions of the OS?
Can not upgrade my OS.
Thank you.

From the Download Page:
requires at least MacOS High Sierra 10.13. See here for install instructions: https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Mac_Installation_%26_Removal

Hi,
Everyone, I was an old customer with version 22 or 23 and thought of returning to JRiver. can I upgrade to the latest version 32, runs on win10 and/or win11?
Also please direct me to your website which lists the latest features on V32.
Thanks.
-
Yes. Instructions are in the first post.

Hello Jim,
I purchased a MC license on 4/24/2023, and I am running MC 31.0.87. I downloaded and installed MC 32.0.20 and tried to install my old license, but it said "your license is not valid for media center". According to your previous post, licenses MC 31.0.83 and above should be valid for MC 32.
Am I doing something wrong here?

No. An MC32 license will work with MC31, but the reverse won't work. Here's how you can upgrade to MC32:

My Master Licence says installed for a different OS? What OS?
I only use Windows!

You probably need to install the version that matches your license.

Trying to upgrade from 28 to 32. I restored, but still tells me I have to restore from an old registration. 32 won’t load.

You don't need to restore until you've purchased the upgrade. You do need an old license to upgrade. Try the first post in this thread for more complete information.

I just upgraded to MC32 after living happily with 23 for a very long time. One thing I noticed is that the volume level needs to be quite a bit higher on 32 vs. 23 to get the same output on my headphones. All settings seem to have loaded properly on 32, nothing else changed. Is there something else to change? It's not really a big deal, just curious why the volume changed.
-
Settings are probably different. Compare the two versions.
Also check Windows sound levels in the mixer. Right click on the speaker icon in the lower right corner.

Noyed,
