JRiver MC21
#1
I see JRiver have released MC21.  Has anyone tried this?  Any observations regarding useful new features, sound quality or anything else?

Thanks Antoine! A useful link. I was flicking through some emails earlier and noticed one from JRiver asking for cash for MC21, I guess I should have paid a bit more attention, as I missed the fact that it's not released yet.

It's a bit cheeky asking for money for a not yet available upgrade though.

After the above jumped start, it appear that MC21 is now available. According to the email I received from them today it includes "additional support for audiophile features".

Anyone tried it yet or know if these "new features" are of any use?

I only use JRiver for audio on my computer, so I'll stick with MC20.

I am running MC21. 21.0.5 at the moment. As Antoine says further up there is not much Audio related improvements. I only use DLNA server with the DSP function enabled (convolution & parametric eq). Very reliable playback. Configuring DSP with DLNA is still well hidden and not optimal, but it works although gapless is (still) broken with convolution enabled. I hear no audio improvements the way I use MC.

A quick tip for any JRemote users, I have a new iPad AIR and the JRemote app does not work, it crashes on opening. Checking on the JRiver forum, this is apparently an IOS9 issue, and a fix is pending Apple approval. So if you use JRemote, hold off updating to IOS 9 for a while.

Just received an email announcing the arrival of JRiver MC22. This version does at least look like it has a few improvements(?) for those using for 2 channel playback:

'Audio
NEW: MC has a new high quality Sox resampler. NEW: Memory playback now allows full albums. NEW: Cover art during playback for tracks that lack cover art. NEW: Right click Car Radio buttons to select playlist to use. NEW: Hold shift to select volume for all linked zones.'

To be honest, I have absolutely no idea what practical use a Sox resampler is, I guess this might be exciting to someone?
