step-by-step set up of RAMDISK
I'm also need some intructions how to setup RamDisk. Is this a compleet summary?
Q: What RamDisk software do you use?
A: We all use this :
http://memory.dataram.com/products-and-services/software/ramdisk (Dataram RAMDisk), except maybe for a few experimenting with other manufacturers.[
Read the Dataram RAMDisk Users Manual :
http://memory.dataram.com/__documents/Dataram_User_Manual_35(1).pdf The best way the apply RAMDisk:
First set the partition-size and fat32, then do nothing, reboot (or maybe 2 times)
Then you have image space (extra hdd) on your RAM, then copy the complete xx folder to that location.
next, setup xx with all settings that are needed, including your key.
Then go to the second tab in RAMDisk, Load and Save, and press "Save Disk Image Now" and select checkbox "Load Disk Image at Startup"
Reboot
Then finally select checkbox "Save Disk Image on Shutdown"
Reboot
Its about all those reboots that are needed, but when up and running it will work nice.

Select FAT32
I used 1GB for it, and can normally play an album.
Copy your current XX folder onto it, but use the complete structure. Thus, supposed you now have XX in
c:\Player\XX-0.9z-2\
make that folder on the RAMDisk and copy the complete contents, including the subfolders. Better leave out the TemporaryData (log data) to save some space.
Sadly you will have to set all your settings again.
When after a reboot the driver letter is the same for the RAMDisk, you can again copy the XX files, but now the settings will have been preserved.
About saving the "image", so all goes automatically after a reboot ... I must test this, and therefore now reboot this PC.

Q: Freeware?
A: Yes Q: When you have 3 GB RAM , how many RamDisk space can you use?
This seems superfuous, but is not; It will avoid copying the XX stuff to the RAMDisk again (maybe two times); no big deal, but setting those settings each time is not a nice thing.
Moral : first wait until the RAMDisk shows up automatically after a reboot (thus, maybe two), and when that works, copy in the XX data, set the settings, and finally check that box "Save Image on shutdown" and also save the Image at that point. This latter again is "necessary" because each change (like from the mentioned checkbox) is only dealt with *after* the reboot. So, just one step too late in fact.
once you select 'load disk image at startup' and also 'save disk image on shutdown' then everything becomes automatic. You will notice that your PC takes longer to shutdown, as RAMDisk saves the RAM disk image. On startup, the RAM disk is created automatically with XX and all the previous settings totally intact.
