JRiver MC for Mac now available

March 2, 2013 Written by Editor

The popular JRiver Media Center program for playing and managing music, images and video on your Windows PC is now available for Mac users – in alpha build mode that is being updated once or twice a week.

Okay, JRiver admits it expects things to be rough sailing at first with many bugs and few quick-fixes. The early versions have been ported from Windows so the appearance won’t be quite Mac-like. JRiver is now concentrating on stability and major bugs, but in coming weeks, expect a more Mac-like visage.

Another caveat – first builds are for audio only, images will be available soon, and video support will take a year.

Also, some features from the Windows version may never be available, and upgrades will be charged to the user. However, JRiver says its goal is for a Mac version of the audio experience it has brought to Windows users over the years.

The first few builds will have a 30 day time-out – users will need to download and install a newer build each time this happens – this is to allow phasing out of software with known problems.

The early version costs US$24.98, which will increase by $5 per month until it reaches $49.98, with no refunds … so purchase only if you’re absolutely sure you want this on your Mac.
