If so then the money spent on JRivers seems worthwhile.Ĭan someone also list in their opinion the pros and cons between Foobar / JRivers. Are these correct assumption? Will I also have an easier time right out of the box with JRivers and not need to figure out a complex set up that requires lots of additional add-ons to customize the interface. My assumption is that JRivers plays a wider selection of formats than iTunes and the quality of playback is on par with FOOBAR and therefore is a major upgrade to iTunes. I end up having to scroll through my entire collection which is pretty large and getting larger so this process is limiting what I am listening to.įor the above reasons I am wondering if I should bit the bullet and buy JRivers, which seems to have a nicer looking and easier to use interface right out of the box, similar to iTunes. Yes FOOBAR sounds great but it doesn't look as snappy as I would like right out of the box nor is as easy to locate files or albums on. In addition every time I add another FLAC file to my music directory FOOBAR doesn't automatically find it on its own, I need to re-direct it to the music directory and add files, so it goes through the entire search again and picks it up. I must not be computer literate enough because I could never figure out how to use the add-ons to get a nicer and easier to use interface.
