Title: Imdisk and Playbackdrive
Post by: CoenP on October 23, 2013, 12:03:21 pm
After my experiments with the ramdisk clustersize and filesystem, I never got back to the sq archived during the experiments.
I have looked in many places to only recently discover XXHE reformats the Playbackdrive to ExFAT the first time after a restart. :(

Now is there any setting with IMdisk to avoid this or should I request for a feature to keep the filesysten as is when starting play at XX?

Thanks,

Regards, Coen

Hi Coen,

It would be a feature request, since it is automatic in XXHE as soon as you use the Playback drive... It never occured to me to see this when you explained you preference for NTFS...

Thanks Alain,

I'm afraid I drew conclusions on the wrong information. Xx allways reformats the Playback drive to exFAT. This might even be specified in the xx "manual". I deceived myself by looking at the IMDisk console without pushing the refresh button first.
Nevertheless I am shure there is a reproducable difference in sound between the reformats. So it must be some secondary effect that causes the difference (in all cases xx will play with an ExFAT formatted drive).

Maybe you have done this before, but if so, it will at least be a temporary way to test different formats for others...
- Format the playback ramdrive as you want to
- Copy on it the songs you wish to listen to
- In XXHE, you replace the music directory by the ramdrive location and you empty the playback info (as if you don't have any).
- You also uncheck the "Copy to Xxdrive..."

Not a pretty suggestion, but...
