I have had one reboot with Alpha 5 since Christmas, which is a LOT better than alpha3 was. I have seen some minor bugs (very minor, like the crossfade sometimes messes up when hitting next track), but nothing to make me even come close to considering switching back to Alpha3...well except the DB rebuild bug. I was really hoping the Empeg guys would fix that and release a revised Alpha 5 real quick, but I understand how these things go and how busy they are.
