+1 My VB2.4 is never going to be upgraded to 2.5 as its main attraction was the disc ripping ability. I spent hours hacking it so that it ripped straight to my QNAP and read the NAS for LMS and then it lost first the cover art and then the metadata lookups. Its had a stay of execution as it also used to run Plex - files also on NAS - but I've moved that now. I still use it as my production machine as it is running on a powerful HP Microserver with a single SSD for the OS & LMS - its fast! Its at 8.2.something and all the plugins I need work fine. It is however based on an obsolete Fedora so one day when I have some spare time I'm going to wipe the HP, put Centos on it with LMS. I also moved to dbpoweramp for ripping.
