Special Price for Upgrades from Media Jukebox 8.0
Until the end of June, anyone who previously purchased Media Jukebox 8.0 can upgrade to J. River Media Center 13 for $16.98.
To get this price, you must have MJ8 installed and licensed.
As a bonus, the license you receive will work with MC13 or MC14. See below for more details.

Preview versions of MC14 are now available on the MC14 board on Interact. Please expect the MC14 price to increase to $49.98, with upgrades at $24.98.
Special pricing on J. River Media Center 13.0 Release (Includes a 14.0 license)
When you purchase MC13 after June 2, 2009, you receive an MC14 license that will work with MC13.0.171 or the early versions of MC14.
Here's a partial list of new features in MC13.
The new "Info Panel" from J. River Media Center 13.0
How to Switch
1. Download J. River Media Center 13.0.171. MC13 can co-exist with MC11.1 or MC12.0, and it can convert the old libraries to the new format. Only this build and newer will deliver an MC14 license. More here.
2. To get the upgrade price, make sure you have installed and licensed any copy of any older version, back to Media Jukebox 8 or Media Center 9. If you need to retrieve older builds or find your license, please see this thread.
When you choose "Buy" in MC13, you should see these prices:
First time purchase: $34.98 (regular $39.98) or Upgrade purchase: $19.98 (regular $22.98). [Note that these special prices have ended. Prices are now $44.98 and $24.98.]
(If you think you should see an upgrade price, but you don't, then double check that you have a licensed copy installed. MJ7 and earlier versions don't qualify for the upgrade price.)
Converting MJ8 Libraries
You can just start fresh and let MC13 import your media files. OR You can install each upgrade, one by one and let them convert your old libraries. Some upgrades will do the last two versions. For example, install MC9 to convert an MJ8 library.
Most old versions can be found here. MC9 is here.
