Hi Jimi
Are you on Windows or Mac? The Beta is probably less reliable on Mac,
but you are right you can get warnings about project integrity, which
is only because the Beta makes these checks where the stable version
doesn't. Earlier Betas did not support opening projects created in
1.2.x and before at all well, but if you try 1.3.4 you should find it
has much less of a problem opening older projects.
1.2.6 is the current stable and it ought to be worth upgrading to that
(though some people stick with 1.2.4 as if I recall the MP3 tag editor
always comes up in that version but only comes up once in 1.2.6).
It now comes up all the time in 1.3.4.
