Well aren't you a prickly pear. I wasn't trying to be snarky. I wasn't
taking a side on which version of mythmusic is better (I don't use
mythmusic, I just use Google Music and a chromecast). I was actually
attempting to save everyone some time on what is a (as of this writing) 52
email thread.

However, I will defend the developers against a bunch of armchair
quarterbacks. Not because I like one version over the other (as previously
stated, I don't use Mythmusic), but because it was their decision to make
(right or wrong). You and me, we're just users here. Would it be nice if
they asked our opinion? Sure it would. But I'm not sure why you think we
are entitled to be part of the development process.
