The first thing that 6.2 will do is trigger a full rescan of your

be terrible. However, if you let it get on with it and give it time to

soon become nice

There is a server performance option about how many songs to do in a

It seems that SoftSqueeze, at least, is buffering a song at a time. I
guess this would make sense if there was no playlist, but I'm playing

Good question.
Incidentally, I have been experiencing much fewer interruptions using
JLayer for the MP3 decoder instead of Java MP3 Plugin in Softsqueeze.
Not sure what the difference is, but the predictable
pause-at-track-beginning behavior is no longer occurring since I made
that switch.
It sounds like this bug:

You can actually do two things with the ADD button - a single push adds
the new track to the end of the current playlist whilst a push-and-hold
action cues it up to play immediately after the currently playing
track.
Of course if you have no playlist running then both actions are the
same.
