J. River 18 user here, with WASAPI Event Style.  I've been a J. River user for about 3 years now.  Not only is it great for audio it's damn good for video as well.
 
IMO - one of the best.

I too use JRiver Media Center and love it!  It's a slick really program, one of those things where you just know they got it right.
 
Can't say that I've noticed any differences yet between Versions 17 and 18.  I know they've made a lot of tweaks, but I mostly just use the basic stuff.
 
For those not familiar with it, here is their website:

I have to wholeheartedly agree with punks15 on his statement, "and the theater view is awsummmm".

Eh, don't think I'd pay $50 for a media player. I'll give the trial a shot though...
 
And does anyone know why Winamp seems to be able to tag files that other media players cannot? It's the only media player that has been able to get the tags of a Japanese album I have for some reason(the tags are in English). Along with some other files... it's never failed to tag anything.
 
Only thing that stops me from using it is that I have some lossless m4a's it can't play.

See this is why you come on over to the Mac side of things. Pay $800 for Amarra and that should play that file. It should.

Sounds like a plan! That $800 mediaplayer will go great with my 1000% marked up computer.

Whatever version is up for download right now. I just installed it like a half hour ago.
 
I'm gonna try and just fix the problem at it's source and re-rip the songs with EAC and see if that fixes it. The other songs I've had problems with, well I borrowed them so I have no reason to complain there.
 
I mean I'm guessing the metadata isn't perfect, but Winamp must have some smart tagging system that all the other players seem to lack.

What does JRiver have that foobar2000 doesnt?  It seems HTPC oriented... is there a comparison to XBMC I can check out?  If it has more features than XBMC I would consider it for my HTPC, but for my regular PC where I just listen to music, I didnt see any features that foobar2000 doesnt have.
 
 
Comments/suggestions?

A single solution for both Audio and Video.  Very highly customizable witch both Foobar and XMBC are not.

Did you just say foobar2000 isn't customizable? Clearly a joke, as foobar2000 is basically THE customizable audio player.

I siad "Very Highly"  where is the joke?  Compared to J. River
