Version: J. River Media Center 12.0.534
"The most advanced-innovative-best media player period"
Pros: Very good for large music collations. Very neat media server w/ zones. Play music throughout your home. I use this mostly for music though I'm not setup for TV, video yet. I actually like supporting a small innovator that runs circles around iTunes.
Cons: It isn't their fault. No support for music transfer to iPhone. iPod yes but not iPhone. There may be too much goodness (i.e., it organizes everything.) I only use for music but it also does TV, video, digital pictures, etc.
Summary: If you don't want to suffer from the corporate control that is pushed on you by iTunes, if you want an intelligent, well thought through and cleverly designed applications that allows you to organize, controll your digital media collection, this program is for you. I have found no need to Sonos or other higher-end media centers - and I have considered many. J. River does it all with the equipment I have. They have a loyal developer community and they are constantly innovating. I'm planning on using the iPhone remote program that will allow me to control what playing via wifi. Thank you J. River. I've been a fan since version 7 and I have no plans to switch to something other.....you exceed my expectations.
