Title: Switching from iTunes to JRiver
Post by: JimH on June 06, 2019, 10:05:08 am
Now that JRiver has finally crushed iTunes (https://gizmodo.com/itunes-is-dead-and-all-the-rest-of-the-news-about-maco-1835160994), we're getting ready for a flood of new users.  Here are a few starting points.

We've just added iTunes Playlist Import (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,120942.0.html).  It doesn't do anything to your iTunes library, so you can go on using iTunes as well as JRiver.

You can continue to use iTunes to sync to your iPod or iPhone (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=94563.msg652737#msg652737).

My reading of the linked address was that apple have realised that stand-alone media players in which people own CDs, vinyls or other physical items are basically dead because what people want is to listen to high quality music on a streaming basis. In other words we are dinosaurs waiting for the inevitable cosmic intervention.

I look forward to the cosmic intervention.

The iTunes import should find every playlist you had in iTunes and pull it into Media Center.  There's also a "Library" playlist that contains every track, so the import should hopefully import every iTunes file.

If you have any feedback, direct it to the thread here:

Thanks.
