And over at the JRiver forums I don't even bother looking at the sections for the old versions of the software. But if it's a question about an old version and the new version has updated or improved the feature the question is about then I'm not likely to take the time to answer. I use JRiver and answer occasional questions about using JRiver here and at the JRiver forum. And rely on users to answer many of the support type questions. Most companies or volunteer groups making media player software don't have the resources to have a technical writing staff and support staff to be writing manuals and answering questions. The age of the software manual is over and gone. Now that software is developed using a more agile or constant improvement style of development with new releases and features happening much more frequently the concept of having an actual manual that can keep up with that pace of software development is gone. That concept worked back when all software was developed on the Waterfall development model and new versions of the software with new features and a new set of manuals took about 3 years. I remember getting large printed manuals with software back in the late 80s and early 90s. The concept of software shipping with a manual went away sometime in the mid 90s. And the info in the wiki or knowledge base will always be out of date. No media player software company has the time or personnel to make an updated manual for every new version. You'll only find a wiki or knowledge base as the manual. Foobar, MusicBee, Roon, JRiver, and others. Click to expand.The reality is that none of the media players have an actual manual.
