1. Seems more responsive than v8.
2. Haven't run into the overdriven volume issue.
3. Some sort of tag issue with two albums. Canola would not recognize them as an album. I converted to MP3 and they were fine. No idea why. I even retagged them. I have lots of other wmas and they work fine.
4. Canola would see Orb server with UPNP feature, but wouldn't list any files.
5. TVersity server audio worked, but not video. I could see the files and the player would load up, but the server would crash. Mostly Xvid AVIs.
