Removing 6.3.x in Windows XP does not delete additional Plug-ins from
the Plugins folder. Installing 6.5.x on top of these old Plugins causes
instability. i.e. I use SuperDatTime on my 6 slimboxes under 6.3.1 and
installed 6.5 9424 (and the previous few days builds.) Slimserver
crashed within 2-6 tracks in general. Deleted Plugin folder and
reinstalled 9424. Downloaded the corresponding SuperDatTime (6.5beta
beta), stability seems much better now. This might be a general problem
with plug-ins.

Further, the default Title Format (under Server Settings) that displays
only the track number is not good. It took a day to figure our the
problem. (i.e. the web server only displays the track number, not the
track name, as it used to.) WAF went down because she could not find
her tracks.

So perhaps this would be better:
1)Establish a policy of deleting the Plug-ins folder on a major
revision like going to 6.5. (or use Plugins6.5 to make Beta testing
easier)
2)Set the default Title format to TRACKNUM. TITLE - ARTIST - ALBUM

Otherwise I REALLY LOVE 6.5!!! It is fast, and fairly crisp. Still
several crashes though, trying to sort them out.
