I believe the "stable 1.03 for uploads" myth should have been killed off long ago. I have regularly dumped 18GB+ to my players with v2beta13 and v2final with nary an issue.

On the other hand, I *did* have numerous problems syncing with earlier software releases, especially before discovering (and fixing) the "jiffies" issue present in all player software prior to (roughly) v2beta11.

Cheers
