Can you please explain how I can do that? Is there an alternative to the Google PlayStore?

When you purchase from the Playstore, you can download the software to any of your compatible devices.  It's all tied to your Gmail address.

Thanks to RoderickGI for maintaining  this wiki topic:

Search for NEW there.

Well, most of the NEW items is also "bugfixes" and small tweeks as far as I can see. The only "New" thing is hardware support for H264 decoding on nvidia and Intel.
So what would be new in v.27? Earlier there has been a list of things to come at the initial launch of the presales.

I won't debate this, but we spend most of a million a year on development.  It's a talented team.  If you can't find anything interesting in the changes, then it's probably not for you.

Thanks JimH,

I'm not here to start a debate or a  flame war, I just want to know the additional benefits that I will get for paying to upgrade. I don't think that is an unreasonable request.

I looked at the wiki and saw the list of changes to v23. For the "Fixes" , none of these seemed to an  issue for me. Some of the others, like adding Slovak languages, I really don't care for either.

Regarding the millions that you spend on building new features, that's great but, as a customer, I really don't care how much a business spends on something if it provides no benefit to me.

One thing that I would really love is for MC to provide a cumulative time for a play list. So for example, to show how much time would have elapsed from the start of the playlist to each respective track.  All the information is already there, someone just needs to add way of showing it. At the moment, I do this in Excel, not the best way but hey it does the job.

MC is a great product that I have been using for many many years and it does a great job.  As a customer, I would be happy to pay for an upgrade provided I knew what I was going to get for my money, that I am not getting already getting.

Thanks for your speedy help.

Look at [Playlist Remaining Time].  It shows the time remaining in the entire playlist.

I'll add the total time of a playlist to v27.
