JRiver Media Center overview

JRiver Media Center is one of the most comprehensive and seamless applications available for managing and playing your media. Its scope includes almost all formats of audio, video, and images. Media Center can also record television and manage documents. And if you're looking for the best audio player or the best video player, you've found it. You can configure Media Center to focus solely on your needs.

Media Center plays:

  • Connected media from Last.fm, Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube. And it sends to Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter.
  • From more cell phones, MP3 players, DLNA, and other devices than any other player.
  • And it powers the Home Theater PC that will entertain your family. MC can even play audio and video in different zones.
  • And, MC can record TV in high definition, providing an alternative to cable TV. It has a Theater View interface, controllable by a Media Center Remote, an iPad, iPhone, Android, a Windows netbook or Touchscreen. MC is a DirectShow player, so it can play almost anything.

All features of the trial are available for free for 30 days. Licenses can be bought for your specific platform, or for cross-platform. Information can be found here.

Also, it's very much overpriced (now 75dollars)! I'd gladly pay for a better option and have waited in vain for 6-7 year. Why MediaMonkey and JRivers are *still* the only two players that can handle a large library without crashing...after 6-7 years of waiting ...I have no idea.

It’s bloatware and basic functions like “fade to sleep”, “tagging” and the “rate by more than 5 stars” don’t work. Development seems to have stalled because it’s so bloated and badly written that going back into the code to fix these issues will cause a cascade of bugs and more coding issues. Plus, the skins are ugly as sin and the “support” you get when asking a question on their Web 1.0 “Interact” forum is “code it yourself” or “read the wiki” (which will teach you to code through a week-long process that gets you nowhere and they know it otherwise they’d have fixed it themselves!)

Crashes all the time. You can just resteart app to start working again but restart Mac in hope that it will work. UNBELIVABLE WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME

Piece of shit. So many problems I gave up resolving them. On Windows 10 constant problems with every 5th application. For example, no sound on Steam or Tidal after using JRiver. Both should sue them btw. Pekotski

А sound in this player is bass, boomy, not clean. Apparently the developer himself has such a musical taste. I don't like that sound. I removed this player from my computer right after testing the sound. Not a bad sound is given by another free player Clementine. I use it.
