Quite simply the rules based Playlist generator is second to none. One thing where JRMC already excels is in it’s playlist support. Indeed the whole of JRMC seems to continuously get better with new releases almost weekly often offering up features that have only been discussed in their excellent user forums a few days before. This is somewhat limited at the moment, being in my opinion no where near as good as say Windows Media Center’s TV support, but JRMC’s TV Support can really only get better and I am certain it rapidly will. It goes one step beyond iTunes and Windows Media Player by also offering TV.

This means it can play back virtually any unprotected video file you can throw at it. Its Video support is definitely worth mentioning – using its own Red October technology JRMC takes all the fuss out of media playback by automatically downloading an managing codecs for you

Much like Windows Media Player or ITunes it offers full media library management including music, video and pictures. I would be remiss not to mention that JRMC does a lot more than just audio. That is all double blind testing can prove but subjectively we also all agreed that JRMC sounded not just different but better. That testing has shown that I, and others, can clearly hear and identify when JRMC is being used to play back music as opposed to Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center or even VLC. One reason this article has taken a while to come out is that I have done extensive double blind testing to prove that the immense improvement in Audio Quality I was hearing using J River wasn’t just down to placebo effect of it being something new.

For me the Room Correction option that allows me to adjust the relative delays and volumes of the speakers precisely and. It also has built in a very impressive array of high quality Digital Signal Processing – obviously using these is not going to give Bit Perfect sound but some are so advantageous as to make that a non argument in my mind.

It supports bypassing the Windows Mixer and talking directly to the Sound Driver using a vast array of technologies including ASIO and WASAPI (there is a really good explanation of all these as part of J RIver’s comprehensive Wiki / FAQ ) and is capable of Bit Perfect output. Without it everything was really lacking bass depth.Įnter J River Media Center (I’ll call it JRMC for convenience.) JRMC is a media player built from the ground up to have great audio. As my front speakers are small units not capable of producing very low frequencies this is something I rely on to pass the low frequencies to the Sub-Woofer. Whilst this allowed me to play the high sample rate audio files I wanted to try without any down-sampling it had a huge disadvantage in that it bypassed all of my receivers processing including its bass management. I had changed my connection from my Media PC to my old Panasonic Receiver from using an SP/DIF to using individual analogue phono connections for each of the 5.1 channels. A few months ago I was pointed to J River Media Center as a potential fix for an audio issue I was having.
