Hi All,

Does anyone know if it's possible to use JRiver Media Center with the Apple Remote, whether via plug-in or other method?

I ask because I find that JRMC sounds the best on my Win7 PC and find the Remote app the most functional of those available. I've tried itunes & foobar2000 for sound, and the my river and rivermote apps, but believe a JRMC/Remote combination would be the best of the best.

This is particularly important to me because my PC isn't very accessible so I rely upon remote access via my ipad or iPhone.

Cheers,

James

I don't think so.

I am aware of plug player, then the usual remote desktop style programs.


I listened to j.river today, and will likely try it out on the main stereo tomorrow or friday to see if i want to leave itunes...

Yeah the only one I can think of is the one for the android - http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Gizmo

Quick google turned up this for the iphone - http://melloware.com/products/rivermote/

chip - thanks, rivermote is one of the third party apps I've tried (I've also tried "my river", which I find a bit better).  It's not bad, but not as good as the apple remote.  Fingers crossed there's a product out there, but I suspect there's not.

What is wrong with the rivermote? Just curious -

Initially I had a lot of problems just getting it to work and connect to the computer.

In use I just don't find it as smooth as the apple product, particularly when you're trying to browse through albums to choose what you want to listen too.  There's also no native ipad option.

I've read somewhere that you also don't always get access to all albums (something to do with playlists?), but I haven't experienced (or at least noticed!) that problem.

I don't mean to say that it's 'bad', it's just not as good in my opinion.  I actually found 'my river' better than rivermote, and it's cheaper.
