I only use Licence Manager and Trackstat from Erland and they both work fine. When you load the new 7.9 it will kick off a clear and rescan due to some db changes in December. There is a new Settings/Advanced/Performance/Memory that speeds up searches and scans (provided you have the RAM). The Full Text Search (FTS) is a winner, on by default - it is a plugin - that causes an extra step in the scan, takes a minute or so. However, a search is lightning quick and really good. Try 3 letters of an artist name and 3 letters of an album or song. After a few goes you will wonder how we ever used this server without it. For instance a search for dar si moo will bring up the album Dark Side of the Moon instantly, provided it is in your library. Michael has also fixed a bunch of old nagging bugs like the LMS web browser changing players when you don't want it to and a clear and rescan is hours faster on my system.
