The change from SQLite to MySQL from 6.3.x to 6.5.x might or might not be worthwhile for you - it's a much better database but it's also a very large change, necessitating a complete uninstall of 6.3.x including deleting the install folder. The end result for me didn't change - I didn't have rescanning problems before, I don't now. However the scanner is now a separate process, this could be good on servers that use OSes and CPUs that can take advantage of separate processes. If you use album art, the gallery view option is very nice indeed. moby_uk;172941 Wrote: > Also, on a side note, has an end of life date for 6.3 been announced? Hmm, I don't believe this is done. Essentially the software is released. New features and bugfixes go into new builds - old ones remain untouched. The only thing that will make the software obsolete is: - a new version of the OS or an OS update which does not support it. For example, 6.0.2 doesn't run on Windows 95/98/98SE/ME. - a new hardware player which requires firmware not in the old release. For example, the SB2/SB3 cannot be used with software older than 6.0.2 and the Transporter cannot be used with software older than 6.5.0. The software is backwards-compatible though, 6.5.1 should support an old SliMP3. -- Mark Lanctot "It's like, you know, a New Age religion, but with better treble response." - Jon Heal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31960 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
