I've not added any tunes for a while (haven't bought any CDs recently)

Well, in my case I'm always buying music. On top of that, I'm always listening to studio sessions (which the emepg is GREAT for), but it means constantly updating new reveisions.

why would you want to remove tunes?

I often borrow CDs from friends and upload the tunes onto my empeg. If I decide not to buy the CD, I'll delete the tracks off.

As for this whole stability thing, I really haven't had many problems with aplha 3. I've had to reboot it maybe twice in the last three months. I guess I'm just getting lucky. The only thing I wish were fixed is the crossfading TO wma files. Was that fixed in alpha 5? Even if it was, though, I still need to add/remove tunes.
