I love JRiver's library management tools. Formula based file re-naming and tagging is fantastic. I use multi-zone output all the time. They've also got quite an interesting array of networking options, though admittedly my experience there is more limited.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

I like the JRemote app for iPAD and iPhone - It is awesome to control Jriver with the app. All of the look of JRiver on your iPAD or iPhone and easy to use as a remote for it!

I bought a $100 fanless PC, installed Debian, setup MPD, and hooked it up to Yggdrasil. I control it with either an iOS app or a desktop app.

I sort and tag my music with foobar2000.

Long time foobar user. I customized the shit out of the thing and squeezed every last feature/plug-in I could find on the web. No problem with regular use over 5+ years and I was happy. But JRMC just beats as an overall go-to media center. More robust library organization. More playback output features + DSP.  Video playback that is superb. I might uninstall foobar soon. I'll save that big folder of components I've accumulated though. The feature-set that JRMC offers just gets more and more awesome as you dig deeper. To be honest, I'm surprised that a license only cost $50. If that program was owned by Adobe it would probably be $500. I love freeware but you guys should honestly give it a shot. Considering how much I get out of it I consider it a small price in the scheme of things. Audiophiles spend more money on shit that doesn't matter or even makes their lives harder.

Anyway, need to find a good media center for Linux now that I'm going to give that another shot on my laptop. Looks like JRMC exists there in some state so I'll try that first and report back.

I wish JRiver would modernize it's default look, but functionally it's really easy to settle with and quit exploring (usually) inferior options.

Good news, they're working on it.

I think MetroX is ugly as sin.

Here's a skin that actually makes some attempt to blend in with Yosemite..

I was moving too quickly on my way to my lunch break - Modern Cards is what I use.
