The "Play Album" problem is only with Jive UI (e.g. Touch, Radio,Squeezeplay). It sounds like it's working OK with Material and you had problems testing from a Radio. The plugin was was written Jive UI was new, the idea of a very slow storage (i.e. mustn't hang LMS waiting), I didn't have experience in the menu and LMS didn't have the later APi which make it easier to do dynamic menus (e.g. streaming services) - so it was done in a clunky way and needs a refresh but its use (i.e. no of downloads) was practically zero for many years and there were other plugins needed work. You may be right about vinyl/CD revival. I also have more experience in the menu so I'll have a look an see if it can be fixed with limited effort. I had tried various cdda2wav parameters to slow down the execution of CD reads (e.g. remove overlapped reads) but none made any significant difference. New drives have big internal buffers and intelligent drive controllers and so perhaps "tweaks" no longer affect read time. The requirement for USB 2.0 may be more important if you want to burn a CD with the drive at speeds such as 12x, 16x or 24x. USB 1.0 (12Mb/sec) is more than adequate to read a CD audio stream (1.5Mb/sec) while buffering the data. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47288 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
