Hi Jason, > You may be right, but I don't want to give up on DMP just yet. I'm sure more investigation would be helpful. The way I approach a problem like this is to ask, "assuming I can't fix any of these flaws, will the project drive me insane"? ;^D The other question is, of course, "is fixing or working around these flaws more of an expense to the company than investing in a proprietary solution?". Anyway, I only wanted to encourage you not to torture yourself. Obviously, if you found elegant solutions to any of the problems mentioned, you would be doing the DMusic community a big favour. Even if you hit a wall, we all benefit from your investigations. ;^) Saul.
