Those people are unavoidable but I would suggest they are also the 'edge' cases. "well, you said you were going to come out with X but we haven't seen it"? Undoubtedly yes. This is definitely doable and I believe is what many of the users are asking for. This information could be provided so that all the devoted JRiver users have at least a hint of what MIGHT be coming. You guys know what you are working on and what sorts of things you are considering internally. A roadmap can be provided with an explicit statement to the user base that says something about "No guarantees".
Difficult is the key word though - not impossible. It's difficult to definitively say what you are going to deliver for the reasons listed. When I have no intention of upgrading it is a real PITA.Īs a developer and 20 year IT professional, I fully understand where you are coming from.
It would also be good if the nag screen bidding me for a new version could turned off. The last thing I want to do is to get on board early only to find out I didn't really need the upgrade because there was little in the way of Audio upgrades that were of interest to me, but plenty for other media. The benefit for JRiver is of course in cashflow, plus a much earlier indication of upgrade sales. If you were to list the things that you are definitely working on now, and going to work on later (particularly with respect to Audio) then we can make a much more informed decision as to whether to jump on board with the early bird pricing. So I have a suggestion which would be beneficial for both sides (the Punters, and JRiver). I suspect that virtually everyone uses MC for Audio, many probably only for Audio (me), and a very small few who do not use it for Audio. It's more about knowing what's coming along. That's not the issue Jim - I think all experienced users have complete faith in the JR Team to deliver a fine product.
