For example, you can use 16bit CDs, 24bit fixed or 32bit floating-point audio files, and various sample-rates (88.1 kHz, 176 kHz, etc.) plus it plays DSD through compatible DACs. The reason I am enthusiastic about a program that plays audio (unlike iTunes or some free applications), is because Media Center retains your high-resolution format. Media Center is a pro-level application disguised as an audiophile player. Originally Windows-only, a Mac OS version was released recently. JRiver Media Center is one of the most comprehensive audio/video players available. Fortunately, I found a great application that offers high-quality playback and a lot more. There were simply too many sample-rates, formats, and variables to rely on a single generic file. I used to have a generic session in my DAW for this, but that became unmanageable. The impression of cross-reading is similar.I often need to audition audio files or compare different sources. The Android SW from JR is still not stable and so powerful and of course has to be paid extra. EOS was an app that is still addictive today. But they are not from JR.įor whatever reason, the situation with Android software controlling the JRMC server is unsatisfactory.
However, there are members who do make an effort. The onboard help / online FAQ / help pages are a disaster (simply outdated) and the forum rather moody in tone.
Also, the problem with AV software has been known for years and is simply ignored. the license for the upcoming / annual version is bought blindly, because nothing is known before. JR unfortunately acts according to "take it or leave it". There is also no publicly known development direction. Since then, little or nothing really useful has been done. Also you can use the current version, which has to be paid once cheap, forever.Įspecially for audio, the last feature (playing DSD ) was years ago.
The software is quite alright as it is now. What I like is their attitude to "bit perfect is bit perfect".
