OK, Thanks ! --- My Thoughts....

I was in the Software Business for over 30 years, so I am familiar with
software releases etc. --- The people I help mostly just want to push a
button and play music.... Ideally, the fewer buttons to install a given
release is better.... I have been a user of PiCorePlayer/LMS for over 10
years now. The release packaging of PiCorePlayer is not obvious to me,
and the people that I help are pretty much clueless and gravitate to a
Volumio solution at the first sight of a problem... Not sure what your
objectives are in terms of getting new users running PcP.....

But ideally, a PcP Release such as 8.1.0 would have everything included
when you downloaded it, patches and all...  --- Yes it is more work to
patch a couple releases with Bug Fixes. (Not development). And having
just 1 or 2 releases on your download page should be plenty... I don't
think you would want people going back 3 or 4 releases to install PcP,
so I'm not sure why they are there.... We used to drop support of our
Software Releases on a Regular Basis to limit the amount of Patches.

And I think, the way you have things structured is that; No matter which
version of PcP you download, you get the same version of LMS? - Correct?
-- This is confusing to me. It would seem that you would want to package
LMS with the Player portion of PcP......

But at any rate, I love the features of PcP and encourage all of the new
people I install to donate to your efforts....
