Is there anything you do different?
This may not be what you are talking about, but the touch and iphone cache the entire track so a 20 min song eats up much more memory than a 3 min song. I found this an odd way of dealing with tracks. This may only be from the device's library itself so may not work this way with streaming. But if it does then that could hurt performance. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49922 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
