Thank you.
I think there is no "one answer." All front-ends have there pros and cons some more then others. Based off these pros and cons we pick what works best for us, the end user. I did and do have some problems with WMC but there are more pros then cons. Resuming from hibernation works, no problems. The main problem for me is WMC scans for new albums on every hard boot. The more albums you have the longer it takes. When my PC comes out of hibernation there's about 2 secs of load. The resume the same song doesn't bother me. I use the "Play favorites" which it plays all of your favorite music.

I finally ordered a SSD off Newegg.com. I did a backup of the old 250 HHD (originally I used 148gb of at 250gb.100gb of that was music. so I have moved that to the 1tb HHD) it was only 48gb to move to the new SSD. I got a Intel X25-M 120gb SSD.

Change #3

Chasing Perfection

Relocating the PC, New Multi touch Monitor, New head unit , new back up camera (the old one was about to catch a fire, it was a bad unit), and bluetooth OBII. Replaced one Tang Band Subwoofer.

I moved the pc under passenger seat. I had to remove the Driver seat to run the back up camera VGA cable to the head unit.

So much for two wires, but you have to pay the cost...
