I do not use Jriver but have done in the past I think you have to pay for it. Media Monkey does a similar job but think free, well at least used to be free. Sorry not much help If you really want a high quality player Roon is very good but not cheap

I've used JRiver for ages on a PC, and I like it. If you've got a big collection of files/albums it'll take a while to catalogue and categorize them all (if you're as anal as me) but I found the end result was worth the work, and it's something you only need do once, as you can add new albums individually and assign them to your existing genres and sub-genres. I like the fact that I've been able to divide and sub-divide things rather than just having boring old "RocK" and "Country" and "Jazz" etc. I've got numerous "types" of Rock, for instance, and a dozen different sub-genres of "Metal" but that's just me, it's fine for normal people too. Not the first thing you look for in an audio player I know, but there are plenty of 'skins' available for JRiver too, and of course it'll do the same job for videos as it does for audio files, so you can centralise everything if that's what you're looking to do. I have to say that I haven't delved too deeply into Foobar2000 though, so I'm not sure of the advantages and disadvantages of one over the other.

Have used JRiver for a while in Windoze. I love the way it sounds and looks. Very user friendly. But with loads of behind the scenes tweaks if you want to go there. It’s relatively inexpensive (about $20...?).

I have JRiver, Mediamonkey, etc. What I can say from my own experience is that Mediamonkey is far easier to use. I can sort my music out by sample rate, file extension, etc. Finding duplicates ate is also far easier than JRiver. And that's just a few of the benefits that I found MediaMonkey has over JRiver. I paid for Mediamonkey more than ten years ago, and since then updates have been free.

I use Jriver and find it easy to use and does a good job. I auditioned a couple of other players some hard work 'hair shirt' offerings that we supposed to sound better and didn't..
There are various settings in Jriver, I followed a set you pc up for audio guide - easy.
It's great to control it via phone or tablet with Gizmo and there was even a good enough app back in the day for Windows phone, RIP. Gizmo syncs up fast and is rock steady.
It handled all resolutions of files I have right up to 384kb/s with no glitches. So would many others though..

Another satisfied jRiver Media Player user here... and the latest MC24 has flac streaming of Radio Paradise which sounds fav on my Win10 server. I've tried Roon but didn't think the extra cost equated to something better than MC

One audio program I forgot to mention, but I rate amongst the best for playback across almost any platform, is Virtual DJ. www.virtualdj.com. It's playlist options alone is better than anything I have come across. And the best part of it is that the basic software is free. You only start paying if you want to add add-on controllers, get more skins, or access their music database. One reason I ended up using this a lot is because I can wire two of my DACs to it via the USB port, and play different music through each of them. The PC headphone socket can be used for track search etc without disturbing the audio output on the USB sockets to the DACs. Or I can use my two Bluetooth TOSLINK receiver adapters to play the same track to two different rooms.
