JRiver Media Center 19 is better!

Sep 3, 2013 at 3:34 AM Post #16 of 178
I like the Jriver due it's great support and convenience. Unfortunately I don't have golden ears to pick up apart any differences in sound quality between foobar and JRiver so both are good players, just one is more customizable and takes bit of time, one is pretty much configured properly for you. Though the usability part of foobar is inferior to Jriver to great levels.

only reason i use foobar is if i need to extract a cue sheet from a file that has the cue info embedded into it, not sure if jriver can do this as well.

Works every time and easy  to use. I've been using this for years and it is a great tool.

how does that work?
 
i've used cue splitter just to split cues from files when i have the sheet.
 
and just foobar to extract an embedded cue.

You can download it and try it for free. It's a stand alone program. You simply point it to the file for which you want a cue sheet and it extracts the information from the music files. Creates the cue sheet in 1 second. You can direct it to save the sheet anywhere you like.

Sure they can.  this may help a bit.  Not sure if it's what you need.

+1 same here.  I don't use J. river for the sound.  I use it for everthing else.

The best feature of 19 is DSP PCM2DSD. You need at least an i5 to do the calcs necessary plus have a DSD128 DAC.
 
I never heard Redbook better, and this is on a very, very humble DSD DAC, Korg DS-DAC-10. For DSF files, a lot more detail. The Korg and the MPD-3 both use an ASIO compatible driver on Win 8.1.
 
Cannot go back to WASAPI or any other PCM direct listening anymore, I'm hooked on DSD!

When the player (j.river 19) is opened, I cannot get any sound on my youtube, it's like the sound is muted on my internet browsers.
How do I fix it?

You can get rid of it, but it affects the quality of the sound coming out of JRiver.  You're using an exclusive output, like WASAPI, ASIO, or kernel streaming, which means that when JRiver is running, it's the only thing that can use your sound card.  If you switched to directsound, you'd be able to hear youtube videos and browser sounds, but you would degrade JRiver's sound quality.  I don't think it's worth the tradeoff.

Thanks for the answer.
Stopping the music does not help neither reloading the webpage. The thing that help is what you suggested - relaunching chrome completely, but this is not very convenient.  
Switching j.river to Direct Sound helps indeed. If it affects the sound quality of youtube I don't mind so much because I don't do headphone listening from youtube.  
I listen on my headphones through USB converter so I switch to the different device (Hiface MK3) to USB-wasapi and it gives me the quality back.
