Jim,
Thank you for clarifying what the terms and conditions one may expect. I, personally, appreciate such an open connection for Creator/User so that one can obtain a license in advance and either jump into the mix or wait it out as you admonition those inclined to do so. That in itself shows a respect for your potential user base. I am addicted to Amarra but I am disenchanted with iTunes. I can appreciate that position can easily create a division in priorities. Where we converge is our pursuit of excellence in (anything) rendering music. I am, therefore, open to what ted_b and Paul (you all know which Paul I refer to) who already appreciate what JRiver delivers that someone like myself, ignorant based on having no experience, must become acquainted before making an informed decision. I believe in the world of music rendition (where did music come from originally?) I am neither the final arbiter of what is the best renderer nor do I subscribe to the false impression that there is only one road to Rome, even though we all know The Map Is Not The Territory. That is my criterion and the reason I am on-board with appreciation for all the creativity out there that profits from our patronage but has to deliver to earn it. Happy to be on board at whatever level I am able to receive what JRiver succeeds in delivering.
Best,
Richard
