Well... you're right -- one way or another, I guess I give too much credit:
if they are not moderating posts,then they have a problem with their list
manager...
I'll try to re-post again later and see what happens...

You give far too much credit - this is just an NNTP newsgroup, with minimal
(at best) monitoring. I see three posts of yours in this thread - if there
was a deletion, it can't be for content/criticism of MS (that's not a valid
selection in the newsgroup tool). ... ?

wmpWow...
I made a post criticizing Microsoft about how they do their WMP software
updates and about how they build a new WMP database - I *thought*
reasonably
constructively - ie: I gave concise real-world examples about why the
current
approach does not work, why their practises are unfair.
They have decided not to post that message... that's a shame.

WAV can have metadata. There's some weird way for MIDI to have it too.

Does anyone know if the databases are actually compatable? If not,
then
obviously installing WMP10 over top of a WMP9 installation process
updates the database. (I can see that the database name has changed
from
_59R.wmdb to _219.wmdb Renaming it, does not work - I tried.)
Anyone else out there?
Each version ignores the previous version's database and rebuilds from
scratch. So if you have metadata stored for file-types like WAV or MIDI
that can't house their own metadata then you have a lot of work to
replace
that data. Strangely none of this is brought to the user's attention...
