As some already pointed out the new "official" release 7.1 of the SC looks like a half-baked snapshot probably released under management pressure (or is it plain ignorance?). Following the current discussions on the beta board there are so many open issues with this version branch and it is hardly imaginable that they all have been solved over night.
The converse is true. Installing 7.1 over a 7.0.1 which was running without *major* problems led to a complete oblivion of all artwork icons in list modes! During the migration of the database files all artwork files in the artwork cache were erased. There is no way to get the artwork back - neither by a rescan, nor by physically deleting all cache files and doing a fresh scan. This time I am really upset, - relevant bug reports in the 7.1 branch have been being discussed for weeks but nobody did take them seriously! Do you guys have any quality assurance plan? Or is the internal spaghetti logic of the SC software inscrutable even for the gurus meanwhile? Yes, there is no comprehensible control structure in the code, side effects generating side effects, etc etc. Isn't it high time for a redesign? Well ok. Having spent hours over hours with the always "evolving" Slim product since version 3.x I am really frustrated now. If the SONOS system did not have the size limitation of around 40.000 songs I would have switched long time before. At least I am happy to have postponed any further investment in Slim hardware by now.
