JRiver WDM Driver
Have you ever used a browser to listen to a music service like Spotify, Pandora, or Tidal, and noticed that you don't have the same volume control and DSP that you do in JRiver Media Center? We have an exciting new answer for this problem.
With MC's new WDM driver (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=92593.0), you can use JRiver for Windows as the sound driver in any audio or video application. When you install MC 20.0.41 or above, a WDM driver is also installed. You can tell any application to use it, or you can set it as the Windows default, so that all applications route their sound through JRiver. You'll be able to use your hardware remote, JRemote, or Gizmo to control the audio. It takes less than a minute to set it up.
JRiver Id -- High Quality Audio Hardware
The JRiver Id (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Id) is a network media player. The Id (rhymes with hid) plays high quality audio from a computer anywhere on the network. It can be controlled with a smartphone as a remote, using Gizmo (for Android), JRemote (for iOS), or any standard DLNA Controller.
The Id provides an easy connection from a computer to a sound system, even when they are at opposite ends of your home.
Upgrade to MC20
If you haven't already done so, you can upgrade to JRiver Media Center 20 (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Upgrade_to_MC20) from any previous version of Media Center for just $26.98. Your old library will be automatically upgraded, too. It's easy and quick to obtain access to the many new features. If you've already upgraded to MC20, just download the latest. Thanks.
High Quality Music
We highly recommend a visit to one of our hi-rez partners, HDtracks (http://www.hdtracks.com/), Acoustic Sounds (http://store.acousticsounds.com/cat/365/Digital_Download), or the new PonoMusic (http://ponomusic.com/) from Neil Young. They're making high quality music mainstream.
Best regards,
JRiver

Any response to this? Any chance of controlling/navigating the Tidal library through JRemote?

Please post on the "Remotes" board. I don't think it's possible.

When Tidal is directed through jriver will an icon show up on the control page. I'm completely baffled on how to get this working on windows 7. I have the driver, tidal & river. please advise how to get this working.
