In the same vein, a report for anyone considering trying out 6.5 upgrade.
I've installed a few versions of 6.5 over the last few months on a "test" server just to play with, but today was feeling brave so went for it on "production". On WinXP SP2 Pro with about 7000 tracks, nearly all FLAC. The process took an hour, and I now have (almost) eveything rocking as it should. This included downloading, installing (twice!), scanning the library (twice: the second one after I'd enabled multiple values in tags), upgrading softsqueeze on the server (twice - failed the first time, worked the second, no idea why), upgrading firmware on two SB2s, and catching up with sundry server settings (I chose to blast my old config and reinstall). Two hitches, really: First, I left non-6.5 plugins in place, so 6.5 barfed on startup. Spotted this by looking in the event log. Removed all old plugins, worked fine. Second, the web interface looked awful till I remembered advice here about clearing browser cache (in Firefox: Tools/Options/Privacy/Cache/Clear Cache Now). After one hour, music playing in three places at once. Scan time just over 10 minutes. Only reminaing task - catch up on he plugins, which I guess might take a bit longer... Oh, and there has been some commentary about Various Artists in different versions, so I'll just say that this function has always worked for me, and I have NO Compilation tags anywhere! HTH someone...
