Hoi Peter,

Thanx thanx thanx for this..... 


I am sorry but a few problems came up. One of the cd's i tried to load in gave the message                 

                                           * Length error in flac file *


EDIT: And with the cd of Candy Dulfer the message * Engine 3 does not work anymore*  came up


Grtzzzz

Gerard, note that theoretically you can do this now (0.9n) by means of creating a "main" Galery "All music", under which the data from both disks are created (2 minutes work I think).
Also note that you can "copy" again from a Galery to another Galery, so that this "All music" Galery really can serve you here.

Whether this is awkwardish for a solution I don't know. But anyway please note that another "more real" solution will give me sorting problems, hence that takes time to develop, and it can't have priority IMHO.

For throughput time it wouldn't matter. Besides that, maybe you don't want to use the Library features at certain times.

Note that one of the major problems is that the building up of the result can't be done in a separate "thread" and run parallel to anything else you are doing (but Engine#3 will keep on playing though). The stupid thing is that once the buildup is in it's own thread, the "main thread" will be free for adjusting the form with contents, then *that* holding up hugely.

That a form can't be stopped at receiving output is a dot-net failure, to which I so far did not find a solution. Documentation tells it works, but it just does not.
But give me some time ...

Gerard, thank you for the sig.

I don't think this is related to Gerner's problem. I can copy the behaviour you described. All is caused by too many presses of (e.g.) next within a short time.
Will be solved in the next version  ...

Hi Gerner,

If you could proove that this was not so with 0.9m I would be very happy to hear that. Or when 0.9m does not make a difference ... I'd be even more happy.

Not just that it is non-stop playing now (finally!) but mostly for the perceived quality improvements over the previous versions...

There was always some sort of layer on top of the sound, something making the sound less natural and more "dynamic" (edgy?) than the music actually was. Hardly to imaging if you did not listen to this latest version but now the apparent layer is completely gone opening the sound, showing the real details and a lot more of them too!

Cymbals do not sound more "metallical" than they should, applause on live recordings do not hit the ears (even showing a bigger crowd than I was used before).

Less noise and a lot more music shining through 

I would be amazed if you can find more improvements than what you have today.

But Gerard ... although I can't (and won't) prevent you from doing those things yourself, this is not exactly the idea;
What *is* the idea, is that all happens in a controlled fashion. Example :

When someone is bothered by harddisk acces during playback (or thinks he/she is), I could shutdown the "service" which provides harddisk access. A next thing (but earlier) would be shutting down everything which urges for harddisk access, otherwise you'd get errors. And so on. Now, when the *audio* system needs the harddisk (end of track etc.) all has to be started up again, and the software can easily do that (at the appriopriate moment).

Note that this is just an example, and a not much realistic one. But it explains how far things could go, if done in a controlled fashion;
You yourself never could shutdown the service that realizes harddisk access. You'd get errors all over the place. So, the "how far things could go" is the key here. By means of software control it could go way far ...

Well. . . let's just say I have disabled many unecessary Windows services.

Do you dare venture in to such territory? 

Would you care to post a screen copy of that ? (the full window of XX please).

I Just count how many cd's are shown in the library and it are exactly 100 cd's....
