1) Hmmmmmm . . . well, the freezes I get match what other people have talked about in this forum, though they were mostly with the previous version. The freezes are much less frequent with the new version, but still happen occasionally.
2) I found something in a previous thread to fix my shutdown problem. I had the wrong thing selected in my preferences, which I believe is what you were trying to get at all along, I just didn't know it. I think you were speaking Windows, and I was trying to listen in Mac. LOL. At least that problem is solved.
3) It'd be a pain in the **** to reconfigure the organization of my music to only have 1000 songs available. Bah. I have managed to share quite a few now, though, so I don't feel bad anymore. I'll just bypass the firewall from time to time to share, but leave it on most of the time so things are less buggy.
Thanks for all your help.
