RE: New version of Music Jukebox-exitsduringinitialscanning

Typically, I test it thoroughly before I launch, so you guys dont have to 
'bang it'.

Thanks for your suggestions.  I'll save them for a later version.

btw: (Non-technical) Wife's are the greatest testers and indicators if 
something will work in the mass market.
