Interesting I've been using freevo for several years and haven't found that many bugs... If you do find bugs please report them otherwise there is no way we can fix them! I would add that although there has been no official release in a while there has been lots of work on svn and a beta before Christmas and another in a few weeks. One of the changes that the next beta will introduce is a significant drop in CPU usage. This will lead up to the last release of 1.x branch but that just means there will be more focus on 2.x.
