Thanks for your suggestion. I'll have to think through the ramifications of doing it this way.
No mind altering substances, not since I was in college, a long time ago. At least as best I can remember.
The JRiver Gui is pretty but not as amenable to browsing and searching. Unless there is a way to list just the metadata without clogging up the screen with artwork. That would really help with browsing, since I could see many times more albums or artists at a one time. It would also be nice to click on a letter and jump to that point in the overall list, like LMS. LMS allows so much more information to be displayed at one time. Though I am still learning JRiver.
LMS is hit and miss for reliability. I've been using it and fighting with it for something like 5 years. It has gotten much better. But is still prone to throwing a fit and making me massage it back to life. One late night frustration was what led me to search out and try JRiver. LMS is still for computer geeks. The hardware is fine.
Yes LMS/SB sounds fine but not as good as JRiver. The difference was immediately obvious.
Yes it is more versatile, I can play my MOG through it. I am only considering audio. The support forums are far deeper than JRiver's.
In the end I will stick with JRiver for its better audio and much greater robustness. Now if there was only a better way to browse through my music, and I could play my MOG, I'd be happy with Spotify.
