I'm running LMS 7.75 on WHS v.1 and am quite happy with it. However, I'm
tempted to update to 7.9 for the performance enhancement and in order to
take advantage of any further development that may happen. I'm curious
about the following:

On WHS, all updates seem to require uninstalling the previous version
before installing the new version. If this is the case, will I lose any
settings?

I'm using many plug-ins, including many by Erland Isaksson, for which
I've paid lifetime licenses. Will these still work? Will the Dynamic
Playlists function, which is dependent on SQL Playlists have to be set
up again? Or will they work without any adjustment?

My files are all encoded as FLAC, and in order to make the indexing work
the way I'd like, I have been putting nothing in the ALBUMARTIST field
for compilation albums, and removing any COMPILATION= tags. With this
combo, all contributing artists show up in the index, which is what I
would like. Has this behavior changed?

Regarding the support for on-line radio, podcasts, Pandora, etc, I've
been concerned that Logitech would end support, so I'm glad to hear this
has been solved. My question is whether there is a step-by-step guide as
to how to convert from one method to the other?

Finally, I find it frustrating that playlists created in LMS and those
created in WMP are so close to being the same, and yet are not entirely
compatible. I would love to be able to use and edit the playlists in
both programs. Any chance that could be on the development list?

Thanks so much for keeping this platform alive. I only wish that someone
(Microsoft?) would buy it and start making compatible devices again. I
already own 4, and would keep adding if I could. Logitech really screwed
up by abandoning it.
