• "A full-blown multimedia powerhouse"

Boasting an attractive interface and an extensive feature set, J. River Media Center leads the pack of media browsers. The installation takes some time, but it's time well spent.

The program's appeal is apparent even during installation, when you can select from six program skins. Moreover, you can choose a small or a large interface, depending on how much space you'd like the program to occupy on your desktop. Upon launch, it automatically ferrets out media files on your PC and lets you preview details such as resolution, production date, and size. Toggling full-screen views or starting a comprehensive slide show is a mere click away. We were impressed with the program's ability to browse all sorts of media, including photos, videos, and audio files, without relying on external players.

Some of the apps many powers include the ability to burn, rip, and play CDs; to generate playlists; to record sound; to create disc labels; and support and synchronization options for external devices like iPods. To boot, the program even comes with a TV tuner. Media junkies with high standards will wonder how they did without J. River Media Center for so long.

  "The Best Out ! - I've tried them all"

  by quadman77 on June 24, 2008

  Pros: I have 100 gigs of MP3's and Music Videos. I wanted 1 software that I could use for both without hassle. I've had Winamp for the longest time, but the newer versions has been giving me errors everytime i would open it up and not play all the videos (which are mpeg and avi) so I would have to use WMP to play them. I didn't like WMP 11 because it would keep changing the Tags, no matter what I did to try and stop it. Now to J. River - This media center does it all - a huge plus for me is the CD Text , that you can't get from Winamp or WMP 11

  Cons: I haven't found a negative yet

  "Awesome - Can't beleive the things your able to do in this product"

  Pros: The feature I most appreciate is allowing major to minor sorting on any number of columns. This is important when all your music is from the 50's and 60's in single 45 rpm records. (7,000 plus mp3's). Yeah - i've got country tunes and Steppenwolf and some newer stuff. But - this product is amazing. I used MusicMatch, iTunes (what a piece of lowly programming - no wonder it works - it's featureless), Media Monkey, WinAmp, Windows Media Player and nothing compares to what this product can do. It's a little heavy on the feature side and takes awhile to comprehend it's abilities. Best $40 I've spent on software in a long time - allows up 10-12 more computer to use a copy. I can't believe Yahoo screwed up MusicMatch. No problem downloading to my iPod.

  Cons: One regret is getting album cover art. The data base is a little sparse and would be nice to have it interface with amazon for cover art.

  "The best, but yet cost money..."

  by ultimatebuster on July 6, 2008

  Pros: Everything. From Theater view to song playing. Good sound quality. Large selection of skins and add-ons. Also in different languages.

  Cons: 40 bucks is the problem of all. That is why I'm using Media JukeBox 12. audio only version
