Title: rats, CPU Sep 2007 review did not include MC
Post by: rjm on August 24, 2007, 03:04:30 pm

The current issue of Computer Power User did a review on 5 media players. Unfortunatley JRiver was not included. This is a shame since their audience is well matched to JRiver.

iTunes
Microsoft WMP
Mystik Media Blaze Media Pro
Nullsoft Winamp
Yahoo! Music Jukebox

iTunes won, Yahoo! lost.

Also mentioned a new innovative product worth watching in beta from Mozilla called Songbird (www.songbirdnest.com). Claims to "play the web".

Hi,

I subscribe to, and enjoy, cpu.  This is the second time that I can recall them not mentioning MC in a comparo.  I am sure MC would have put the smackdown on those posers.

I am always amazed how other players get such a high rating and MC does not, maybe because some of the other players are free, or maybe a lower cost.

It sure is not because it is better than MC

I think we have a vacuum of meaningful information on JRiver in the mainstream.

Anyone who knows anything knows JRiver is the best.

Somehow we need to spread the word.
