Yeah, that's what I was getting at -- all of the complaints you guys have put forth are valid, but at the end of the day, there isn't anything better out there right now for local playback. I do share your frustration, though -- most or all of the problems you've cited were handled properly ages ago by HTPC solutions like Meedio (which ended up being bought by Yahoo and crippled severely, not sure if it even exists now.) The fact that the "market leader" in local playback can't get some of these things right is downright sad.
