I won't have a zillion people saying "it doesn't work", or "it doesn't > have THIS feature", etc, etc, even though it's a beta version. That's their problem. If people knowingly use a beta release of a program, then they should realize that they might find some stuff that doesn't work. But, if you, as the author, don't feel good about releasing your product until it's finished, then that's your decision. Although, it seems like there is quite a demand for a more-working trackplayer and people don't seem to mind a few bugs now and then. >Well.
