I may be forced to go with 7.2 or newer because I really want a Boom. I have stayed with 6.5.4 because I manually went in and applied the patch to allow the squeezebox to sort albums by year (I know the server software can already do this, I am talking about it doing it on the squeezebox). I did this by manually editing the 4-5 perl files that needed changing.

The latest patch for that bug was written around 7.0 I think. Has the code changed so much from 7.0 to 7.3 that I wouldn't be able to manually edit the perl files and find the proper location and insert the patch code? I really don't want to go back to having albums sorted alphabetically.
