Back to Hoster 4.3 and lyrics back in sync

[TheMusicGeek]

Jim I meant no disrespect to you or any beta tester. You as well as many other forum members have helped me on quite a few occasions. I do value the support I receive here. My point was that MTU has released the 4x series of Hoster without enough testing. This makes their customers their beta testers as well as folks like you. The difference is that we paid MTU to tell them what is wrong with their software and you do it for free.
I do admit I am really frustrated with MTU. Their behavior and constant Microsoft bashing is more that of a teenage hacker living in his moms basement than a professional software company.

Man, you just don't know how much testing was done on Hoster 4 before it was realesed! Over 40 beta's in 8 months. It broke a record.

I've always heard it is wise to never critisize a man's actions until you have walked a mile in his shoes.

MTU offers a unique opportunity for their clients to participate in the development of Hoster.

Vista is crap right now, If you had tested these 40 plus betas (not to mention 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 & 4.04) I think you woild be a liitle less critical of MTU's reaction to being forced to make Hoster work on an incomplete operating system.

Your opinoins are valuded here and I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to share this informatin with everybody.

Let me get off of the board (I've been trying for two hours now ) and get on with testing 4.05.

I asked because it seems to me that it may be useful for someone who has experienced the problems a few other users have to try the beta .05

I have worked in electronics and one of the hardest faults to find is an intermittent one or one that when the engineer looks at it the fault does not present itself.

many testers seem to have 4.04 working correctly so it may not show problems when you upgrade to 4.05 where it may for users like me

The larger the test base the better for everyone

i am willing to put time and effort into helping getting mtu hoster to work spot on ..not just for me but for all users , i make a living out of hosting karaoke shows so it is very important to me.

I did not post the how do you become a beta tester to stir up or start any nastyness only to help and support the great work being done by mtu and all the testers.

Hey Rob,
Every bug that I have seen on the forum potsed by a user, the beta testers have seen as well. The mutitude of issues raised by vista have been overwhelming. MTU programers can only write so fast They are only human.

Your offer to help more is appreciated. I just tested 4.05 Beta 1 and it passed all of my tests.

Oh, you did nothing wrong.

Jim
