I find no advantage to v4. The previous free version was doing the job. I had donated because i like the plugin. All recent 'developments' have brought nothing except make the plugin look more complicated with unneeded option. What i realy do not like is the way i was 'forced' to upgrade to a commercial version with no way to go back to the previous free-donation-ware version. The new commercial version should have had a new name and coexist with the former free version. I don't agree with erland. I believe 3rd party dev are killing the system by forcing everyone to upgrade to commercial plugins with an unreasonable price. Indeed, i find the price much too high for what it is. Of course my comment are true also for all erland's plugins (trackstat and many more). Erland is the one who put this license manager thing together. He also forced us to upgrade to commercial versions with no way back and way too expensive contributions. I have uninstalled all those plugins. I don't trust those dev anymore. I have disabled plugins autoupgrade. My system is now very stable. I still miss a rating systems and have reinstall the free logitech native musicip plugin. I wait for logitech to develop this as a Core version. If they don't, i trust the market to provide it somehow sooner rather than later. I have changed media systems several time (winmp, wmp...). Squeezebox is by far the best for the time being but because it misses this rating ang logging/stat systems in rhe core product, it's not perfect. Coming back to sugarcube, i wanted to say that cparker never replied to my mails when the product was upgraded and didn't work anymore ( took me some time to understand i needed license manager). Sumarry : i'm a happy squeezebox user (i have 10 radio and touch around in the house). I'm frustrated that i wasted so much time setting up erland and cparker's plugins and then they tried forcing me to pay. I call this racket and i don't trust those expensive addons anymore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ reniera's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40705 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95782 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
