Okay, I've looked at the bugzilla database (scary reading) and thought I'd update my comments a bit. 1) This is listed as #571 although this report dates from before the SB could do native wma. 2) This is listed as #2486 and #1191. 3) This is not listed. 4) Personally, I think WAV should not be transcoded by default but I don't really care since its configurable. 5) This is not listed and is the most serious in my opinion. 6) This is not listed but also seems to have stopped happening. Not quite sure what changed. 7) This is not listed. My guess is that it sometimes forgets its dealing with a sorted list. 8) I think this only happens in the 6.5 beta so it doesn't really count. If I can create a login for bugzilla I will add bug reports for 3, 5 and 7. -- shawkie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shawkie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3751 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20773 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
