Not ubuntu - XP. One of the correlations I've noticed is that many of
the people complaining of recent buffering issues have been on *nix
variants (linux & osx specifically). It's possible something new is
causing problems on those platforms.

We can disagree on the merits of the design (and I can see why it would
be irritating) but it's been the same for as long as I remember. I guess
one of my points about your post is you seem to be complaining about the
latest version but most of your complaints are not about new things.

So don't use it, switch everything you don't want off. If you look at
the plugins page you'll see pretty much everything is modular and can
be disabled if you so desire.

Yes it's more commercial, but I don't think that has to be a bad thing.
I certainly don't think it's any less stable than it used to be.
Obviously if your player suddenly stopped working it's less stable for
you, and that sucks, but overall things are a lot more reliable than
they used to be. And my suggestion of going back to 6 is perfectly
serious - if you don't like 7 (or if it doesn't work well for you)
there's no reason for you to have to use it. The important thing is
being able to play your music!
