and it just needs a few tweaks.

Again Richard, we're not saying there's anything wrong with the new
version, just that it doesn't suit everyone. This is a "users" list,
so by definition we're more likely to be users than developers or
even hackers. I'm personally faced with the option of staying with
what I have or upgrading to 0.25 and utilizing some other
application for music as my wife and kids (80% of the users) don't
like it and would rather not upgrade.<br>
<br>
Calling this position insane is rather extreme. It's a choice
nothing else, the same way that people choose between Ubuntu,
Redhat, Debian etc. That's what open source is all about. It's not
only about being able to change the source, but also about being
able to mix and match components (in this case). For years, I
couldn't play certain video file types in MythTV with the Internal
player, so I used VLC. That was a choice, one I made because I had
enough skill to change the menus, but nothing like the skill to
change the code. Since 0.24 I've been able to dump VLC because the
Internal player can now play all of my videos, and if MythMusic
continues to develop to the point where once again my family and I
feel it's the best choice, then I'll switch back to it, in the same
way that people switch between distributions.<br>
<br>
I too would like to thank Paul H, and all of the developers for
working on MythTV as a whole; it's a fantastic product and it
provides an excellent service.<br>
<br>
As for trying it, well I (and my family) have, and unfortunately at
this moment it doesn't match our needs. This isn't a dig at the
application, or the developer, just a statement of fact, or better
put, a personal preference. To that end, I'll look elsewhere for
music playing (as I did previously for video) and hope that
eventually the two usage cases meet and I can switch back in the
near future.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
