FWIW, I've had MAJOR problems with some of the V3's (like 9, lol... what a mess that was) but I've had only minor issues now and then with alpha 8 on my older player. My only real repeating beef with alpha 8 was the lavatory floor crash, but I just leave the visuals alone now instead of trying to show them off to everyone.

I did a few test syncs with individual albums and things seem to be working fine again for now. Now it's time to figure out which parts of my Rush collection got eaten
