J. River MEDIA CENTER convergence software turns any Windows PC into a multimedia hub

Minneapolis, MN (May 5, 2003): J. River MEDIA CENTER™ 9.0 software was released today, enabling users to organize and experience all their media, including music, photos, and video through a single Windows program. This complete digital lifestyle tool supports most popular hardware products, including the Apple® iPod™, and the TiVo™ Home Media Option.

Media Center competes directly with Windows XP Media Center Edition PC, but without the high cost of specialized hardware. With this release, MC pioneers a new software category, enabling full control over media organization and playback in one package with more sophisticated personalization than ever before.

MC directly supports the best hardware. For example, MC now allows a PC to "sync" its collection with an iPod and to play the iPod's music seamlessly. It also can stream JPG images and MP3, WMA, and other audio to a TiVo equipped with Home Media Option. MC can acquire images from a camera and upload them to a Web page.

"MC is a single tool for access to all media, no matter what its form or source," says Jim Hillegass, J. River CEO. "We're integrating as many devices and media types as possible, but allowing them to be controlled simply.Anyone who has a coffee table with multiple remotes will understand why this is important."

J. River has raised the bar for multimedia apps by establishing the first universal software solution for organization and playback of popular media. Together with its industry-leading file organization, MC provides CD and DVD playback as well as TV time shifting and recording features. An important premise underpinning this release is the idea that Media Center will act as the "nerve center" for convergence of entertainment hardware.

Until now users have been accessing media from a desktop PC, but MC allows a smooth transition to the living room space by providing extensive home networking, and a variety of remote control device support, with connections to TV and home audio components. Now users can enjoy their media collections from the comfort of the couch.
