bhangraman Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Would anyone care to elaborate on exactly how it is different to the currently released version, and also the latest beta of Sonicstage? Primary questions are: Features: What are the additional features? CD burning. Is it more reliable than the current beta? Resource usage. Is it less resource-hungry than the currently released version, if so how is this achieved? Hi-MD compatibility: Any issues/advantages? I'd like to hear as much as possible, as soon as possible. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 I have sent him a Private Message as he is the only person who truly knows the full depth of his installer. Hopefully he'll reply to this inquiry soon. Welcome, btw [and check your PM's]..didn't think you'd come here. :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Ah, another wonderful case of esoteric [yet somehow understandable] satire from iceeedtea. Whilst I will not contest his words, I will say this: When I have troubleshot NetMD issues related to Sonicstage 2 [which I've done quite a bit], it is very unusual how in most cases when a person has a build of Sonicstage 2 that they downloaded from connect.com and will not run properly I advise them the proper way to uninstall and install your build, everything magically works again. It's not just limited to that scenario, either - you'll find in alot of the threads I've diagnosised that it's along the same tune. I prescribe what works, and for some odd reason, it's iceeedtea's build. Anyway, in my mind, his build is relevant until 2.1 comes out and I will continue to post as such. p.s. ..and it doesn't come with the bloaty semi-sometimes working Connect! For that fact alone it's superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
