Hi Gerard,

Obviously not. Or not as such. Or not when all shouldn't go awkwardish ...

Clicking the covertart as well as the checkbox is for selecting. This is an explicit action by itself, awaitening further commands (see richtclick).

Doubleclick would be allowed (and intuitive) though.
... With which I don't say that it will be there ... teasing

Remember, you should have memory space of (around) 500MB for Vista itself, plus 3 times the filesize of the largest track you play (can be 2 times only, depending on "situations"). Two subsequent tracks at full CD length would be a no go (but who has that secret).

Note that this "rule" does not incorporate the disabling of virtual memory. It's up to you now to find the limits, or better : up to your Vista (generally you are not the boss in there).
15048  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: Disabling Virtual Memory can cause errors on: November 13, 2007, 12:29:56 pm
Ah, I see. So that's the physically allocated disk space then (currently used or not). But look at the bottom of the first screenshot. It says "Currently allocated : 0".

Thanks Johan.

I am glad you are happy Andrey.

Did not try it on Vista yet.

Maybe I missed it, but did you by now ?
15050  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: Disabling Virtual Memory can cause errors on: November 13, 2007, 11:12:24 am
But Johan, something is not right here;

Although it would (at last) explain the "errors" you referred to in the other thread, the screen shots you have in there show virtual memory being present ("wisselbestand" = paging file) ...

Anyway, if this is what you mean, obviously you just ran out of physical memory.

Can you be more precise on "Memory error" ?

I must stress that I have shut off Windows Updates always.
You wouldn't be suffering from this, would you ?
15053  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: Harddisk noise on: November 11, 2007, 11:35:47 pm
As long as you are not using isoschroneous USB (towards the DAC) and synchroneous (the HDD) together, it's ok.

A SATA connected HDD incurs for power down of the HDD (which IMO can be set for uptime; I just did not try it). This by itself is just good.
15054  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: Harddisk noise on: November 11, 2007, 10:25:47 pm
Oh, I forgot ... when I play at normal levels, I don't hear the clicks. Not at 5-6 meters distance.
I will look into the gapless though (already for my own sake Happy)
15055  Ultimate Audio Playback / Your thoughts about the Sound Quality / Re: version 'R' flac and mp3 for XP on: November 11, 2007, 09:42:39 pm
Because it is far from easy Leon. I think I explained that elsewhere, though in another context. yes (Re: Easily rename all your cover art....). That's for a next time. Okay ?

Anyway, thank you, my pleasure (yes, for you) and I sure hope you enjoy it (and I did not mean it badly really Happy).

Hi Johan,

There start all the problems with the spinning sound of the harddisk. I can hear it from a distance of 5 m!

Hmm ... I don't hear any spinning sound of the harddisk. The relais clicks, yes (probably 20 meters haha).

Quote
Is it an possibility?

Not a realistic one. Currently, everything which is added will degrade SQ or not make it better the least while that - right now - is needed first. So effectively, no.

Whats wrong? How to fix 'it/what'?

Both types of USB connection officially don't go together. The HDD connection will prevale over the DAC connection. That's how USB is organized.
Nothing to do about that.
15057  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: Harddisk noise on: November 11, 2007, 08:18:52 pm
Btw Johan,

HDD power down afaik cannot be controlled over an USB connection (for me one of the reasons not to want such a connection).
15058  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: Harddisk noise on: November 11, 2007, 07:38:47 pm
Well, for 55 minute tracks you don't need gapless. So that's settled. smirk

Then, I have the same disks, internally connected, and indeed they (relais) click. What to do with that ? I don't know ...
It is true, however, that when they spun down gapless does not work. I always thought it would be a setting somewhere. In fact, I still think so. Could even be a jumper setting.

Wrong ! But I guess you knew that.
15059  Ultimate Audio Playback / Download Area and Release Notes / XXHighEnd Model 0.9r (Implements FLAC/MP3 for XP) on: November 11, 2007, 07:10:18 pm
... or actually : For Engine#1 and Engine#2, those being the only ones running on XP.
But people ... since I had to listen to this a bit for testing purposes ... get Vista if you love good sound ... wacko

Okay. Gapless should not be worse that it was for #1 and #2 with WAVs.
SQ for FLAC cannot be different than for original WAV files.
When a FLAC is playing, a FLAC icon will show now. Just to inform you.

Additionally, when Engine#1 can't cope with the file size (64MB, or actually, the limit was put to 6 minutes), XXHighEnd will auto-switch to Engine#2 (and back to #1 after the track concerned).
When this happens, your selected Engine#1 will show in red (see below screen shot).

Although it was not reported, when Engine#3 (thus Vista) had played, switching to Engine#1 and pressing Play caused an error. This is (at changing the Engine from #3 to #1) replaced now with a message that the player has to be restarted. Please note if this is not done, pressing Play anyway will cause nothing to happen further.

Edit : Hmm ... I deleted a comment about the expected SQ by accident as it seems. By now I can tell : even more aggressive than 0.9p / 0.9q. So no good for that (Vista/Engine#3).

hmm, I only have a single core cpu in the laptop so I've left that box unchecked, (but did Peter hint that versions before Q may still be active?)

When you have one core only, there's no effect anyway.
