How do you use JRiver Media Center?  And why?

90% Mobile because I'm not often given the time to sit and enjoy music around the house. 

On the way to work either in the car or on public transport, at work and sometimes when out and about - which makes up 90% of my listening time..

Used to be the main music server around the house via DLNA, but these days I'm using Roon for access to Tidal/Qobuz.  So MC is now PC based listening only, which is pretty much every day during office hours.

I use it on PC only (main PC in my office/listening room is the server, Surface Laptop 2 as a client in bed at night, and my HTPC in the living room as a client).

I spend probably 6-8 hours a day listening on average. But I work from home so that's easy to fit into my schedule.

Mostly on my PC, but I use EOS a lot on my phone in my car as well.

The central piece of my media environment is my media server for Audio, video, images designed after https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/ca-academy/computer-audiophile-pocket-server-c-a-p-s-v4-cortes/ (https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/ca-academy/computer-audiophile-pocket-server-c-a-p-s-v4-cortes/) connected via Devialet AIR to my Devialet controlled by JRemote. In the living room I have a madVR based video renderer. I view sometimes also some videos through JRemote and also have MC on my Office PC at home and on my macbook Pro (work). On my iPhone I have Qobuz, as well as on my media server as streaming service.

My answer was "Only on PC/Mac" but that doesn't really tell the story.  I have PC with JRiver installed connected directly to my audio system via HDMI.  I'd guess I listen for an average of 2-3 hours per day.

100 % of my local video requirement shared with Netflix

50% of my Audio Requirement , split with Roon & Tidal

Tend to use for my Classical stuff as the navigation of Big Box Sets is so much easier (being configurable) than Roon

My Soundbar & Wireless speakers & Cambridge Audio CXN  depend on DNLA which Roon doesn't support. Yes Tidal streaming saves Roon.

If Tidal were integrated into MC it may well be a different story but I know JimH's views on streaming so ....
