Editor's review of J. River Media Center 9.0

5.0 stars
"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 a variety of program skins, from Blue Steel to Z. 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, J. River Media Center 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 J. River Media Center's many powers include the ability to burn, rip, and play CDs; to generate playlists; to record sound; and to create disc labels. 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.
