I wonder if they will honer the lifetime upgrades they sold users (I am guessing, the answer is No)

Now that Google is flush with cash, I think I just heard Jim say, "Oh Google--Over here" :o

Unless something changed in the last 2 years or so, they stopped doing that. I bought a lifetime upgrade license a long time ago, and last time I tried to upgrade, they basically told me "too bad".

Really, I bought one back in like 1996BM - 1997BM (BM = Before Media Jukebox)

Maybe i should try it out to see if it still works.

I just tried mine yesterday (that I bought for version 3) on version 9 and lo and behold, it worked. The thing is still bloated and crappy.

Cause it will take forever to implement changes once this happens. And whomever buys it will defnitely dumb it down for the masses and make it YAMM (YetAnother Media Manager)

I'm thinking winamp, before AOL decided to get fresh with it ;) ,winamp 2.9 is lean and works well, cant say the same about later versions. Actually it was araound this time i discovered MC so did not investigate further :)
