I using the latest 7.6 beta and I have to say it is stable as in it does not crash or stop. However I've noticed that sometimes it just does not respond. It sits there and sits there and finally after 5-10 seconds it loads up the page I requested. Which is ridiculous on a 4GHz quad core i7 with the entire program and cache on a RAMDisk. However I understand a beta program will do crazy things.
One thing I cannot for the life of me understand is why this program needs to wake up the HDD with the songs on it simply to display album art. Even with SQLite and the reworking of the program it seems to wake up my HDD (and I hear it) while it slowly displays album art. Can someone tell me what the purpose of the art cache is? Because it seems to me it does nothing but take up space. The new scanner is excellent and it updates the library periodically. So if there were any question that the file (or album) is actually present the periodic scans should answer that question. I don't see why the code is so inefficient as to request a wake up of my HDD just to display my album art while browsing. It's just very inefficient. I mean I could have this program running on a Cray supercomputer and it would still be slow and clunky. On the bright side, thank heaven for working Trackstat and iPeng on the SQLite 7.6 version. Somebody please make this program behave with some common sense else explain to me what the cache actually does. I understand logitech has put the developers under a lot of stress and with some crazy requests to be fulfilled in short order, but I really hope we could go back to the basics and make some things fundamentally more efficient. It would be much appreciated. -- sxr71 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sxr71's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18773 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79251 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
