Recognizing that you are unlikely to fall for any of our crazy marketing stunts, and that there may not be anything you care about in the changes we've made, here's what was new in the last stupid update (MC21): Summary: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=99972.0 Detail: Here is...

JRiver Media Center will play ALAC fine.

JRiver Media Center 19.0 is now available in early beta at the top of this board: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=32.0   Also new are a Mac version and an in progress port to Linux. Features new in MC19 include: User accounts...

  Quote: Hopefully you found the answer on the J. River forum.  There are several volume options.  Try "Internal" if you want J. River MC to manage volume.   Click on the speaker icon next to the volume slider in the upper left corner to get to the setting.

I just stumbled across this thread.  Thanks for the many kind words about our software.   Recent changes in J. River Media Center 15.0 can be found here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=56853.0   They include a second WASAPI method that solves problems with playback to...

For hiFace users, we've had a report that the 141 firmware doesn't work with MC and WASAPI, but that 140 does. Marco at M2Tech knows about it.

Just to add fuel to the fire, maybe a few with expert ears would like to test our player against the others discussed. [I've given away five free licenses. Sorry if anyone wanted one but didn't get one.] Please test FLAC or APE or WAV without DSP first. 196Khz and 24bit works fine...

Any lossless format will give you the same sound quality, and will be the same quality as WAV or AIFF. Lossless files will be smaller and tagging will be more likely to be compatible among different players (software and hardware).

Any lossless format (FLAC, WM Lossless, APE, Apple Lossless) will be better for tagging, and about half the size of WAV files. There is no advantage to WAV and there are disadvantages. WAV has a newly emerging "standard" for tagging, but DBPowerAMP and Windows Media Player handle it...
