Easy there, tiger; we know people want it and have had lengthier, better-written discourse than yours on why.  Check out the first post of this thread, read some of the back posts, and chill a little.  Why not just enjoy playing the game for a while?

Anyway, getting back to the actual topic, I'm thinking it might be time to add a few things to the first post.  In particular:
* Checkboxes for special modes
* Playlists
* "Gapless" ride
* Tag-editing
* HID support improvements
* Improved mod support // I believe I've seen many questions about this on a certain other subsection of a certain forum.

If you had actually read what I had said you would know that I admitted it had been brought up before and was just putting in my two cents.  But of course you'd rather just try to correct me and talk down to me.  Why that is...I have no idea.  I'm pretty chill as far as I'm concerned, and I play the game almost daily.  So don't make baseless assumptions about me and don't talk down to me and make it seem as though my opinion isn't any more valid than any others.

Ah, I see that I omitted some critical words;  my bad on that bit.  That first sentence should end as follows:
Quote
...yours on why it's worthwhile as mode.
You were actually doing quite well until after the quote.  You see, it becomes exceedingly tiresome to see people continually get up-in-arms about how their gameplay mode-of-choice is somehow "better."  My apologies if you don't particularly like my (admittedly, a bit knee-jerk) reaction to it, but issuing public challenges in such a manner is in somewhat poor taste--  left unmarked it gives the impression of conceit or aggression, even if such is not the intent. 

This inherent limitation of the otherwise-concise medium of pure text is what gave rise to that line of funny-looking yellow faces just above the box you use to type a response.  In fact, you see before you a prime example:  my response had a great deal of malice read into it for reasons that are only partially my own fault;  I was more concerned with things that people keep bringing up of late, in any case. :/

So, yeah: Read the first post, read some of the other stuff, play your game, and take it easy.  This feature, like a number of others, will happen when it happens.  :)

PS: Thank you for not starting a new thread.  Some people never even progress that far.

I wasn't really trying to say I prefer mono or any other mode.  Just that they are all vastly different in the skills needed.  And it bothers me to see people try to compare them and say one is more superior than another.

One last thing, is there any time table on when changes will be coming?

Something else I was thinking about while playing some Breaking Benjamin songs today:

I would like to see scores grouped by time duration for a song on a seperate scoreboard.  I played a few songs today and looked through the scores for shits and giggles and notice some of the higher scores were sometimes 5 seconds to over a minute longer.  I use songs ripped from CD's or songs from amazon or itunes.  And to have a score trumped by a song that's over like 15 seconds longer kinda makes me feel jipped.  Also, the ability to see all your scores for each class, and have scores with like an asterisk at the end if they are top scores or something?  Possibly a separate column for songs you've been dethroned on?

Track Length Differentiation! It's so annoying when you have the highest score for a track only to be beaten by someone using a track that's twice the length of you own version!

Just noticed this - very cool idea! Especially the current position thing, fun to see.

It is.
Doesn't take into account people quitting a song though.
I've spotted myself riding songs before. ;)

Except that, in most cases, it's not cheating just improperly tagged live versions and stuff.

Which is why there's no penalty beyond having your score taken off that scoreboard.

Demo recording feature has been discussed a lot on these forums. Just do a quick search using the search function and I assure you that you'll find your answer on why it hasn't been implemented yet.

I actually haven't had an answer on why it can't just record the same way source recording does(well, same idea anyways):  record to a file where the ship was, what blocks were there, what was hit, what was in the grid, and other things that are character-specific, save it as a .txt, and bundle it with the .ash.  Sure, you wouldn't be able to play it back with anything but Audiosurf, and it would require you have the same song, but using Fraps or whatever while playing this back will mean you can play at top ability and still be able to create a video for the intertubes.

Yeah, I know Dylan nor lebeth gave any "official" answer, but I think having to have the same song, .ash file, copyright problems, etc. are reasons enough to consider them a why it hasn't been implemented.
