The impression of cross-reading is similar. The Android SW from JR is still not stable and so powerful and of course has to be paid extra. EOS was an app that is still addictive today. But they are not from JR.įor whatever reason, the situation with Android software controlling the JRMC server is unsatisfactory. However, there are members who do make an effort. The onboard help / online FAQ / help pages are a disaster (simply outdated) and the forum rather moody in tone. Also, the problem with AV software has been known for years and is simply ignored. the license for the upcoming / annual version is bought blindly, because nothing is known before. JR unfortunately acts according to "take it or leave it". There is also no publicly known development direction. Since then, little or nothing really useful has been done. JRiver Media Center licenses available: Purchase Master License 79.98 (recommended, since it is valid for Windows, Mac, and Linux) Purchase from the Help Menu of the latest version. Also you can use the current version, which has to be paid once cheap, forever.Įspecially for audio, the last feature (playing DSD ) was years ago. The software is quite alright as it is now. If that notion is just my own little fantasy, I’m OK with it.What I like is their attitude to "bit perfect is bit perfect". But in lossless, it’s much more like I remember from my youth when it was fresh and coming over the FM airways. Led Zepplin’s Hey, Hey, What Can I Do? never sounded right to me in AAC. But a few tracks do sound better to me in lossless. digitalfrost Major Contributor Forum Donor Joined Messages 1,322 Likes 2,422 Location Palatinate, Germany 4 I have used foobar2000 since it was v0.1 or whatever was the first.

Memory is not so very expensive, and I have the bandwidth for streaming video, so why not? I agree, properly set up, most of the time I cannot distinguish AAC from lossless. JRiver has more features but Foobar is simpler and less resource intensive and seems to work more reliably as well as being free. Yet, somehow, I feel better that lossless and hi res are available to me. Much the same has been discussed for several years on this forum. They are proud of what they have accomplished with their proprietary AAC codec, and for years resisted making any higher bit rates available from their music library, insisting for at least ten years, I believe, that the differences are inaudible. Yes, there are direct statements in this regard on Apple’s website.
