I thought this was only working for unattended mode. 95 percent of the time I'm playing in unattended mode. I don't want to untick every time for attended mode this tickbox. I think this setting should only work for unattende mode.....i think?! What is the purpose to show this wallpaper in attended mode?

Hi Peter,

Why do You change the Wallpaper in attended mode? Better to keep the windows background I think!
Sometimes for testing purposes I want to play in attended mode.

Hi Peter,
There must be another way to add all the coverart to the Gallery (I hope). I am thinking to buy a SSD memory. So 32 GB SSD becomes 64, ...128..... All the music with coverart is on the external drives. I suppose for browsing purposes you put the coverart in the Gallery but...Is it possible to make thumpnails of this CoverArt to reduce the size of the Gallery. 40GB of Gallery size....how many records are that ????

SSD as only internal drive for OS, Gallary, EAC,.. Can I use in a dedicated HTPC configuration a 30 GB SSD? Or better to go for the 60GB version?  What are the future developments of XXHE, gygabyte related?

Changing "Split File setting" to 100 solves the problems for me too!

Last weekend I bought two E.S.T (Esbjörn Svensson Trio) cd's "Live in Hamburg" & "Leucocite" great Swedisch jazz band. Just before the 17 /18 minutes track starts I get a Out of Memory Exception message and the sound stops. I saw the progression indicator was running.

I also did another test with Steve Khan album with a 18 minutes track. See attachment 4

After loading 2 track via the Library button and during playback the third one. Progression indicator starts to fast (without sound) at the and of track one the progression indicator is in the second track. When the progression indicator is at the end of the third track the music suddenly stops!!  Conclusion the progression indicator is 5-7 seconds faster then the sound. And when the indicator is at the end XX skips the last piece of the last song in the playlist.

Loading an album in the playlist area and give a play command in attended mode.

What i see is the start of the progression indicator without sound for a couple of seconds. When the progression indicator reaches the end of the first track i hear the music still playing. The progression indicator start at the beginning of the second track while the first track is still playing. I can see that behaviour also in the playlist area. The second track is highlighted while XX plays the end of the first track.

But no skip of tracks. (Yes i know i have loaded a complete album. I will do the test for two tracks)

I had the impression that the music is ok because it all plays from the internal drive but the coverart needs every track the external drive. When switched off the wallpaper don't get an update anymore...but you are the designer so..

Looking in XX3 i see:
20:17:24.2159025 Data Parameter : 0320:DATA:I:\Music\Jazz\STEVEK~1\2006-T~1\02-CON~1.WAV:TIME:8:09.46:BITRATE:1411:TYPE:WAV:START::CV:D:\Galeries\Jazz\STEVEK~1\2006-T~1\folder.jpg:CB::VL:-6:IV:0

?????

I don't use that

Drive D: (internal drive). It has tree partitions c:,d: & e:

See Attachment

This is a default setting for me.

D:/ in my case


It's not so easy to read all those line's. I will give it a try.

Hi Peter,

Today i have noticed the spinning up and down sound of the external drives during playback in version 09x-7. I was expecting that all the data was copied to the internal drive! So i decided to do a small test because i have chosen for "Copy to xx-drive by standard". (see settings). After loading a compleet cd and a play command i switched off the external drives. What happed:
1 Music keeps playing
2 in unattended mode, the track titel and indicator stay's on the first track
3 every new track i got an error message. Music keeps playing.

Is this normal behaviour?

Regards, Johan

Yes please!
Selecting Gallery then random play for all, selecting Jazz then only random play for jazz.

 

Depends on the budget!

I am using an Audiotrak HD2 (€100,= Netherlands). Very good soundcard for the money. You can change the opampsif you like! I have used a NOS DAC dddac1543. The soundcard sounds very good and give you more settings to play different formats.
