I haven't tried 1.4.7.-1 yet (I will when it gets to Lenny) but afaict 1.4.6 is as stable as it can be. Cheers, Jonathan -- Registerd Linux user #445917 at http://counter.li.org/ Thanks!

I think it's much better than itunes or any of the other stuff I've seen in windows. The crashes I observe have been on playback, and are very difficult to reproduce: on upgrade to b2 I let it run overnight with random playlist population - it did fine. Then, and this proves Murphys laws the millionth time, when I really wanted to listen to music it hung (!§$!§$!§$).
