Media Center allows you to include in different rooms at the same time, different music. With this program you can copy music to portable digital players and mix your digital photos from your camera into a digital library media center, record audio files from audio CDs, record your favorite TV shows and watch them on TV. River Media Center you can, using a computer to control all connected to your home entertainment devices. In addition, there is a very good and powerful in its capabilities organizer of multimedia files, mediaredaktor, equalizer, built-in DSP and convenient scheduler for automating processes playing / recording, as well as support for remote control.įrom the optional, but nice features - becoming almost a standard for «decent» programs can change the appearance using skins, mini-player mode and the «TV». River Media Center - plays most popular audio and video formats, including MP3, audio CD and DVD, can convert CD-audio tracks in WAV, MP3, copy to your hard disk vinyl discs and cassettes, as well as create an audio-CD, and for all these functions, the program has many customizable options. Jriver MC is still in development so is not ready for primetime, but that aside it already plays audio quite well on my systems with a sound card (Xonar D2X) or with a DAC (in my case Meridian Explorer).J. So, now I have a media center on linux that can manage to play hi-res files FLAC, APE and most importantly for me DSD audio formats like DST, DFF and SACD-R isos. Now a great program I use in Win, Jriver Media Center 19, is now being ported to Linux, though it only supports audio in this platform (I only care about the audio features of Jriver MC anyway). That said, it seems that the availability of steam for linux pulled the attention of other companies to linux as a viable platform. I know that linux is all about freedom and open-source, but I see colaborative path between the development of a open-source OS (Linux) and some proprietary programs. This are exciting times to be a linux user.
