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.

Hi-MD compatibility: Any issues/advantages?

only person who truly knows the full depth of his installer

no

[link] - I know that iceeedtea's build seemingly has the best overall functionality and isn't as resource-intensive as the others

no

[link] - ...heard that comment from a few people

people = incorrect

haven't had the time to really make a full summary

action: take down moron's "build" and direct to sonyconnect

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. tongue.gif
