All I can is it works perfectly for me. Couldn't give a shit about desktop IU, as all I care about is getting to my programs/playlists/albums. JRiver plays everything I throw at it, and even if the metadata has glitches, a quick search assembles whatever album/playlist I want and plays it flawlessly [ie, even if some metadata is mismarked, there is a playlist on there that is the proper playlist that I can use], and it mates perfectly with both the microsoft wireless keyboard/mouse on the computer itself, and the rocketfish BT keyboard/mouse on my big screen in the living room. And DLNA works perfect with my Blu-Ray player in the living room. So whatever I watch to watch or listen to, I can in a couple of seconds, and can watch in an AOT window or full screen, depending on if I want to surf the web as well.
And as for the UI 'problems' there's like 20 UI choices I can select depending on how I want my info. Script lists, scrollable thumbnails of varying sizes, flippable visual libraries, etc. Every time I wonder if there's a better and quicker to get my info, there's a choice/view for it.
Peruse the site, and tell me what you would improve on. It might make you a billionaire.
