J River Media Jukebox 12

What works

Managing your column view is going to give you trouble but you can come to grips with it, and there is the occasional skin drawing error and resizing errors, but this only means that, for the most part, those things work OK.

Now, about the most important features, tagging, library management, presentation and playback functions work flawlessly (with mp3 files at least, but there's no reason for other formats not to work), and believe me, I've imported a huge! (>250GiB) library.

What does not

There are obviously some quirks such as drive recognition (unavailable), therefore ripping and burning will have to be done elsewhere, also the encoding of files is going to be a hassle. This is what I've noticed right up front.

Workarounds

Additional Comments

I give it GOLD rating because the what makes this software worthwhile truly works, even better than native Linux apps. The features that don't work are easily and readily replaced by any Linux native alternative (ripping and burning, encoding). - actual rating would have to be Bronze, though. Admin note: rating changed to conform to the rating definitions.
