Title: Product Name
Post by: Sam on May 15, 2003, 10:39:24 am

It's a bit hard to find and download MC because of the name.  I told a friend yesterday to try MC, and he had some trouble finding it.  I think he tried mediacenter.com first...  He got it from download.com, but he had to ask me which of the half dozen or so programs called "media center" to get.

I think they should have chosen a more unique name, but it's really not hard to find, IF you know who makes the product...  I just Google'd for it, with the string "river media center" (due to the fact that the vendor name is "JRiver"), and the first link was the correct one.

Peter is right,

If you "Google" 'J River Media center" or simply "J Media Center" you find it right at the first place.

that's just the problem...you can't expect people to remember J River (just who is this J River guy anyway?).  It should be as easy as typing MediaCenter into Google.  -which, by the way, doesn't immediately link you to the site (neither MediaCenter nor Media Center worked)

Many folks may get the name confused with Windows XP Media Center Edition as well.
