Thanks :-)

I'm surprised this thread was not already deleted or locked.

JR has no intention of telling us anything & the BETA team is sworn to secrecy, so anyone who asks the question is wasting their time.  The first we will hear about MC12 is when they open the BETA and post it. 

As long as they are not saying anything anyway, I suggest they put a sticky thread up, that is locked, that says;  don’t ask – we’ll post it when it’s ready.

that would be useful - it's the ONLY reason I'm bothering to come to the forum at the moment... I don't really want to have to scroll through the list of posts to try and find if there is anything...

But isn't "later" now ...?    ;)

(Sorry, couldn't resist).

Looking forward to the "real later", especially since I have changed over to MC12 a while ago and did huge changes to my library which I understand I can not easily take over into MC11 again.

No, Later is not here yet

Later is Still Later.

It is kind of like tomorrow, except it's later

I thought I was in the same boat as you, having added about 2000 ratings and 1000 genre tags in MC12, but if you store the info in tags and then reimport in MC11, it should work.

I respect JRs right to not disclose the BETA details, including sharing of information and the timing details. However, they started the problem when they opened the BETA up and shortly thereafter pulled it.  The un-do button, when dealing with a group like us, does not work so well.

So all I’m saying is there should be an official statement, at the top where everyone can see it - that summarizes the current status. 

That current status may be simple – the BETA is still closed and we have not yet set a date for opening it up. 

At least that way we will not have random requests from us continually posed, which are mostly ignored (at least from an official response point of view). 

BTW – the BETA team is doing a great job of maintaining confidentiality (this is a compliment, not a SA remark)

If it is Top Secret it is not likely that they would tell you anything.

* Burning multiple CD sets at once as well as splitting large audiofiles (books, podcasts, etc.) across discs
* Improved support for Audible files

I finally like fact that the beta is closed (i never thought I would say that  ;D) 
There will be much more things to play with when it will be opened again (soon  ;)).

The big difference is that we pay with money rather than with .... well ... what most groupies pay with.   ;)  ;D

Well, it looks like we will soon be able to download new updates on almost a daily basis.  That should keep everyone happy.

* New tag system


Do you mean new tag window?  (not "system")
Title: Re: When is version 12 coming back :-(
Post by: runemail on September 04, 2006, 04:01:05 pm
Does this mean that there is going to be a MC mobile (That would be great!)?
Or just improved sync for Windows mobile?

Maybe a tag system that included an option for userbased scripts to grab info from websites?

I just hope the theater view is much improved.
Todays simple, dull view, just scares away alot of new users I try to recommend it to.

Me too if I was'nt so in love with almost EVERYTHING else :)
