The problem is that everyone has a different opinion of what works well and what doesn't. It's never going to be possible to get it such that 100% of users are happy. It's crying out for a preference to select whether a link is a contributor link or an artist link, but the developers don't like settings. >I'm leaning toward staying with 7.5.6 for my day-to-day Squeezebox use > It didn't take me long to come to the same conclusion - SBS offers very little in new benefits, and gives a lot of different/reduced functionality, bugs, etc. This is one of the things that I think is better, because at least it is consistent everywhere, across all types of user interfaces. >and only testing 7.6 and later until many of these browsing problems >can be corrected (although, honestly, many of theme will never be fixed >because it's just too much work).

I think it's safe to assume that there will be more change to come when major change in 7.7 is released with yet another change in the name of the software. There will be more useless functionality/addins, an more functionality dropped or not supported to make way for it. 7.5.6 is pretty good. I've been running both side by side, but always go back to 7.5.6 for day-to-day use. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
