Title: What exactly are the Plus features?
Post by: Mat M on June 27, 2002, 04:57:14 am

I've been to the Plus features page to see what I'll lose after 30 days and it lists ALL the features. It doesn't say which I will actually lose. So which are they?

Lol - You pretty much said it.
You loose all the features more or less except the very basic ones (playing, searching).
U cant modify id3 tags, burn speeds drop to like 2x.
That kinda thing.

You can midify id3 tags even without plus features. You can do it using inline editing.

OK am I to undertand that such basic things as editing File Properties is a Plus Feature and hence I can't do it?

That is ridiculous. I have just tried it and I get the Upgrade dialog box. I can't run my library without tag editing. This means I will have to go back to version 7. In fact in the long term I will be looking for a new media player.

What is the inline editing you mention?

Mat,
You may find this ridiculous too, but try a slow double click on a file in the content window.

Mat:

I assume you installed 7 without otherwise upgrading to the play-for-pay version and have now migrated to the trial version of 8. (If you'd purchased 7 you'd have a free upgrade to 8, and this wouldn't be an issue for you.)

This seems to be a recurring theme: a user will install 7 as a freebie, try 8, find all the extra goodies disappear after the trial period, and become upset because they're losing what they didn't pay for in the first place.

Either MJ is a great program, worth the modest entry price (I think it is - you may feel otherwise), or it doesn't meet your needs. If the latter, I can understand why you'd look elsewhere. If the former, isn't it unrealistic to think you'd continue to get premium features and support for free?

JRiver was being ultra-generous with 7 by continuing so many of the extra features in the Basic even after the trial period expired. Maybe that was their mistake and your good fortune. But does it make sense to leave an otherwise-extraordinary program just because they're reverting to a perfectly reasonable commercial policy.

Hope you'll reconsider. It's well worth the investment.
