Why would you need J River to play something that can already be played without additional software?

I have a Squeezebox Touch, Sonore microRendu and Oppo 103 - all of which are uPnP / DLNA devices. And find no need for an additional layer of software to play.

So, why would I want to add yet another layer of playback for devices that function just peachy keen without it?"

The OP asked what was new in JRiver since Media Jukebox 14. I and several others listed some new functions. uPnP/DLNA was one of those additions.

I did not state that JRiver was necessary to do DLNA networking. You do need DLNA server, controller and renderer functions. I happen to find JRiver useful for DLNA server and controller functions because it allows me to use all the tags I want and all the associated custom views. It also does gapless playback very reliably. It isn't an extra layer; it is just an alternative for one or more of the DLNA functions.

I use JRiver on my personal PC to play music in my home office. I use the DLNA networking to play music and videos in other rooms. For me, it is not extra software.

Now about extra stuff. Why would I need a Squeezebox Touch or a microRendu or an Oppo 103? I do quite well without them.

If you still want to argue, find somebody else.
