If you want to use JRiver and JRemote, and are ok with connecting up to your home router with wifi access, then by all means go for it. I have to be fully self contained for it to work for me. As primarily a traveling music server I can take with me, I cannot rely on having access to anything other than an AC outlet. The central reason I did not go with JRiver and JRemote is their requirement for a wireless router with access to the internet. A number of you kindly wrote me back to suggest maybe I should rethink that position. JRiver was part of the subject yesterday and I partially explained why I didn't go with it. Before I do that I want to touch on something I wrote in yesterday's post. I finally got a chance to spend some time listening to the new server I just finished building and in this post I'll share with you some quick observations.
