I just downloaded this game off Steam, and first impressions are looking good. The rest of my music collection is working well, except for one song. The Shatter boss music! Every time I try to play it, it crashes the game - during the song preview as well. I guess that means it can't be the metadata. If you've ever heard the song before, you'll know the bass is very intense at the start. Maybe the game can't handle it? It's only a few days after release, and it makes sense that the game would be a bit buggy. 
 
Is anyone else who owns this game having similar problems playing their collection? 
 
EDIT: There was an update released for the game today (4/19) that fixed this problem and added .ogg support as well.

I still don't know if I want to get it. Audiosurf basically promised all the stuff that this game is, and Audiosurf was kind of a bummer. I really wish there was a demo for it.

Yeah I just bought this, it's definitely way better than Audiosurf.
 
I do suppose though that YMMV though because some songs might be really hard to play. But an amazing game for sure.

There is a demo for Beat Hazard, limited to 10 songs. Fun but Jesus Christ, the amount of distortion when crap hits the fan and the music kicks up is crazy. Music created the levels in Audiosurf and Beat Hazard uses the music to create the colors and how intense the game is. Slightly more action oriented, I find Beat Hazard fun. Now, I don't feel the need to buy it though. I'd rather wait for Steam to put it on sale only because I feel the price for what Beat Hazard is a bit high.

While demoing I had a blast with the MMPR theme.

XD, that's why it worked so well, some parts were really erratic and had loads going on, but then others, there would be a boss, but I'd have no bullets because the song was so quiet. "
