Nero 7.2 Released

I don't get what you are complaining about. We continously improve the software, and each new release has new features. Each time we release something, the very latest development version is already" better" and we try to get that into the *next* release. If you don't ever want to be surprised by a new version that is better than the one you just encoded your entire collection with, then for the love of god, use some dead format, and not Nero AAC, because we're actually improving it! The fact that each major release of Nero contains an uncomplete encoder and/or buggy GUI is maybe a reason to complain, especially when you have to download a bloated installer, uninstall programs you don't need (Scout ) and delete by hand 500 MB of temporary datas in an hidden folder (documents & settings\...\local setting\temp\NeroDemo9918 ). If you take a look on similar products offering AAC (or something else), there are no problem like these: Winamp, iTunes, WMP are all fine in that aspect... If you set "x kbps" it gives you "~x kbps" and not "1/2 x kbps" and it doesn't enable a debugging -moreover buggy- mode. Nero GUI is inaccurate for more than two years. And now it has been redesigned, it's still not working and really looks unfinished (no choice for MP4/M4A, no choice for using LC if you want LC, etc... I bet it will change in a near future). The funniest is that you're apparently aware about these bugs, but strictly don't bother to inform us. I count 6 messages from you and Ivan in the first page of this announcement: we can learn that a surprise is planned, that BluRay is supported and online update too, but there's not one mention about "known issues" reported by users. Are you considering us as "beta tester"? I think it wasn't the case , contrary to less respectful companies... I could understand that you don't master the planning of release and that you're sometimes forced to release something which is not polished enough. But if you're aware about problems, there's something you can and should really do: it's to inform people about it. You're talking about "new features" new Nero always has: but current one has clearly less future and doesn't really look safe to use.
