Title: Jukebox encoder license included in MediaCentre12?
Post by: simonsezdothis on March 21, 2008, 11:32:29 pm

I've just tried out Media Jukebox and love it.
I see you need to buy a license to encode MP3's.
If I was to purchase MediaCentre12, would this licence be included?
I presume so ... but I can't see that information anywhere.

You will have to buy both, if you want to use MC and MJ mp3 Encoder, I'm afraid (but I'm not absolutly sure).
You may consider using LAME for free within MJ. You have to set it up as an external decoder within MJ's options.

Just to clarify, if you purchase MC12, the mp3 encoder license is included and you can use it from within MC12, but if you want to continue to use MJ, you'll still need a separate license (or an external encoder) for it.  There is not much reason to use MJ if you've got MC though.

MP3 encoding (for MC12) is included in the MC12 license.
