Can someone with experience tell me whether these problems are my
problem or 6.5.current problems?  I installed my first new version in a
while yesterday, and again today to see if things got better.

1) Upon installing a new version of SlimServer, which used to be
possible with SlimServer running, the install now complains about files
in use (slim.exe and mysqld.exe).  Shutting down SlimServer prior to
installation gets rid of the slim.exe problem, but the only way I've
found to keep the install from dying on mysqld.exe is to kill it from
Task Manager, which I don't like doing.  Do we now need to uninstall SS
before installing a new version?

2) Rhapsody, for me, is dead.  Although my Squeezebox reads out the
name of the track it's trying to play, no sound comes out.  This is
most frustrating.  I have tried turning everything off and back on, the
usual fix, but no luck.  I have no idea what to do now.

3) With every new install I have done of SlimServer except the one I
did just now, I have been asked to update the firmware in my
Squeezebox.  I have trouble believing this is really necessary, and if
it isn't I wish this behavior would be eliminated.

4) Back on Rhapsody -- there are so many bugs one encounters when using
Rhapsody that I wouldn't even know where to start reporting them, and I
tend to assume it's so obvious that there are problems that there is no
point in doing so, since anyone seriously attempting to use it will
encounter them instantly.  Yet a search of the bug database turns up
only 4 hits on "Rhapsody".  Am I the only one who finds serious
problems with the web interface?

To take one example, picking a Rhapsody album to play does not cause
the tracks to be listed in the right pane.  Refreshing to cause that to
happen puts the left pane back to the top level rather than keeping it
within the artist, which is really annoying.  I believe I reported this
and it was hooked to another bug, but I don't know how to check for
that.

Anyway. . . anybody have ideas about these items?
