Mediamonkey Gold Cost
I paid $34.95 for the gold version and have impatiently waited for MM3. I like MM allot but I wish that I had the chance to buy at $20, $34.95 was too much and I am not happy with the pace of the updates, I guess I expected updates sooner for the money.....
Well, I understand that people are impatient for a new release. HOWEVER, there are many things which the team are now facing;
1) Compatibility between different OSes. (Vista is the big one)
2) Native support for new formats (m4a, m4p, wma etc.)
3) New DB-structure (causes the most problems)
4) Support for new devices.
5) New skinning module.
All of these things are major and isn't done in one night. I hope that users understand the amount of pressure, and that they're not the only one wanting a fast final 3.0 release. The developers want it too. The lifetime license you bought promises you Gold status for all coming builds of MediaMonkey. However, there isn't a promise on the cyclus on these updates. The team is working intensively making v3.0 into a final product, and you have not been 'screwed' by marketing.
The update will come. I hope for your sake you have time waiting for it.

worth it
I went ahead and got the Gold license as well - however, I am more than happy to pay that amount for the product we already have (2.5). MM is the ONLY bit of software I have found that meets my specific needs, and I've used dozens of similar products (Helium, iTunes, WinAmp, WMP, MusicMatch, et al). I rarely shell out money for software because usually you can find so much for free that you need... however, MM blew me away and I felt compelled to shell out the money. For as much time and effort as I have put (and will continue to put) into my music collection I feel good about supporting the project and think I've made a wise investment.
I went gold too and I'm very happy that i did. MM is the best audio manager out there and considering the last release was about 6 mos ago, I'm not too concerned.
Does anyone else update faster? No matter, I'm a MM user for life... unless they do something real sucky like what happened with Real jukebox back in the day.

itunes only updates when they bring out a new device and need to add support for it... they never update to bring new features that people want.
MM is bringing a rediculous amount of new features and bug squashes.
Not only that, they're posting alphas and posted alof of updates to 2.5.5 not so long agao... all accessible.
I think $34 is really cheap for a lifetime membership.
