Awesome! Please come back after you've played around with Media Player and
URGE a bit and post your bugs/thoughts/comments/suggestions! We really value
everyone's input here!


OK you won't like it : URGE stinks ! It's mutton dressed as lamb.
My particular grouse this 5 minutes is that it claimed my previously
OK DRM was "broken" and required reset at the indiv web page.

Before that 5 minutes, I was irritated by script errors in radio
streams meaning I couldn't listen to *any* radio at all.

And the 10 minutes before that was that MTV video links on the left of
music tracks only played the adverts - no video !

I can provide a list of other things wrong with URGE and other online
services, but it'll take you a week to work through them! Some of the
issues seem to be clearing, which I guess is the point of a Beta
rollout, to flush out bugs.

In general though, I'd advise that you want to involve beta testers on
a pre-release using a pre-version of the integrated service before
releasing the service in the public beta ;-))
