Well said!

I've read a bit, as it's posted, about squash; I just don't want to start messing until he's released what he considers to be "V1". I'm not too faint of heart, but not quite ready for that.

I completely agree with you; the player app is *almost* perfect. As I said, if you add japanese tag display, it would be perfect (for me).

I hope I wasn't misunderstood. I tried to make clear that I know that the most important thing here is that Rob and Co. put food on the table, not crossfading on the empeg. As much as I like it, it's not worth having it at the expense of someone else's security/stability.

You put very clearly what I tried to get at: It's the ability to code extensions, plugins, etc. THAT is what we need. Imagine: I could learn more coding, and make a plugin to display JIS tags, saving me having to whine about it here and there . Someone else does a plugin for a new visualization. And so on.... Problem could be solved by allowing "hooks" (?) directly into the player app.

Either way. I'm thrilled just to have my empeg. Anything else is just wasabi.
