Stability? It's a beta. And I have my doubts that they will ever make it final. If it's running, it runs quite stable though. To get there, it might be a little bumpy. * To me it sounds better. It seems to me that at least the volume-lock 100 won't make a difference on SQ anymore. And to me that was one of the major flaws in 7.5.x * I'm not sure if there's something wrong with the rendering of coverarts. Lots of albumarts do look cripled on my iPad, even though I got HQ activated. * I figured out that if leaving out the playlist scanning (leave playlist path blank), the full new scan becomes lighting fast. If you guys work without playlists give it a try. * I'm more than disappointed that when adding albumart or new albums I still have to run an annyoing complete database delete/rescan. (To others: Please, let me know if there is a solution to it) * On my Linux system the database path entries can't be symbolic links anymore. That worked on 7.5.x (And that issue was driving me nuts, until I figured it out.) * Rebuffering on HiRes is still an issue once in a while ( It just happened on a pretty powerful and up2date Linksys E-4200, which I'm currently testing. That one comes with a great TCP-IP throughput. iperf is giving me >900Mbit/s for a PC2server communication. (Wish: Could anybody generate an iperf binary that we can run on a Touch? - Would be very nice if somebody could get us a binary!!! This way all of us could test the link performance, instead of fishing in the dark. Or if there's a working and doable howto (it shouldn't take more than an hour), how to built a binary for the Touch, I can do it by myself. Any support would be really appreciated with this.) A little Off-Topic: *iPeng just released an update that makes it work more stable with 7.6. beta.
