Re: General Question
No, I do not have it (check for updates) selected in the prefs. It just takes a long time for me to load it. I think the important part of the problem is, it seems like it is just sitting around waiting to start, after the hourglasss come off, the computer is not doing anything, then it loads up 20 seconds later. WinAmp on the other hand as soon as the hourglass comes off which is about 1 second it shows up right away. Mozilla (Netscape Open Source Browser) also takes a long time to load, almost as long as FreeAmp though it just might seem shorter because I can hear the hard drive whirling away.

Re: General Question
Guys, I've removed all of the mp3's from the my music thing and it takes about 20 seconds to load up completely, I counted. Maybe I'm counting too fast, but I know for a fact that WinAmp loads up much faster. Is this true for everyone's machine or is it just me. I am running Win98 with 2partitions one for programs and stuff and one for music, my documents stuff like that. Both of the partitions are on FAT32. My computer is an eMachine eOne (it looks like an iMac). Mark, what does BTW mean, yeah I go to UNC. Did you happen to major in computer science and now are working for freeamp? Is the money good since FreeAmp is an OpenSource thing? Or are you doing this for a hobby? Also I'm new to opensource, when I download the source to study from it, I get mightily confused, is their anything like a tutorial or anything describing the program like an 'SDK' or anything? I mean there are so many files. Duc "Mark B. Elrod" wrote: > BTW Duc, Go Heels! I went to UNC as well... > > elrod > > Duc Tang wrote: > > > Mark B Elrod, > > > > I have around 100 and something.

Re: General Question
Mark B Elrod, I have around 100 and something. I am on a network(School), but I am not sharing any files so that should not be a problem. Its similar to loading up Netscape, it just takes a long time, but freeamp takes an even longer time to load. How long does it take for you guys to load up FreeAmp. I don't use FreeAmp as my default player because of the long loading time. But I still like it, and would like for it to succeed, because open source rocks! DUC "Mark B.

General Question
Hi! Sorry to bother you guys again about this bothersome issue of loading time for freeamp. But since all these new versions are coming out I would definitely like to see FreeAmp load up in a reasonable amount of time. I have very little programming skills so I will not be able to do any coding to cut down the loading time, and I certaintly don't understand why it takes so long to load. WinAmp loads up quickly and so does RealJukeBox, and Real Player. When I load freeamp the "hourglass" shows on the mouse cursor for a little bit but then it goes normal, but FreeAmp will not be on yet, it generally takes 30 seconds after the hourglass disappears before free amp is up. I have a 433 MHz celeron processor, 64MB ram. If I knew how to program really well, then I would try to code it myself. Thanks!

Re: General Question
115, only a few on the playlist thought, again winamp loads them up faster. Maybe you guys can get permission to look at Winamp's source code. I load up freeamp and I just wait, nothing is happening and a little while it shows up, sometimes I think I haven't double-clicked hard enough. Even when playing single files it takes quite a while to load up. I have a Pentium Celeron 433Mhhz with 64 MB Ram, which I think should be sufficient to load up a mp3 player.

Re: General Question
Hi! I've downloaded the latest version 2.0.4 and it still takes a long time to load up. It may just be my computer, I don't how it is like on other computers. But I do know WinAmp starts right away and it can't possibly start any faster. And I think the coca-cola themes are awesome, and they can copyright it if they want to, spreading the acceptance of freeamp should be on the top of the list. And here is a suggestion for the playlist of freeamp, let the user rate the songs on the playlist with stars. Say the default is one star, and if the user likes the song he/she can assign an additional star to it and the song will play more frequently on the playlist. And have the max number of possible stars is 4 where the song is played every other time, it was just a suggestion.

Winamp loads up much quiker, is > this situation similiar on everyone's computer. You should just leave FreeAmp running. :-) But seriously, FreeAmp is built on a plugin architecture where each plugin is in a DLL. When Windows loads a DLL from disk, it loads the given DLL at a certain base address that the DLL specifies. If another DLL is already residing at that address, the DLL needs to be re-based. All of the address references in the loading DLL that assumed one base address now need to be told that the DLL has been rebased. This process is time-consuming, especially for FreeAmp since we have a lot of DLLs. This can be minimized by giving base addresses to each one of our DLLs so that when FreeAmp loads we can prevent the conflicts which will make FreeAmp load a lot faster. Why haven't we done this? We've been to busy writing code? Naaah. Anyway, if you want to really get into depth about this issue check out this article: (I mentioned this article to you a while ago Elrod, I just now found it again) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/techart/msdn_pagetest.htm --ruaok Freezerburn!

I fully support the freeamp program, but why does Freeamp take so long to load up, I am starting to use Winamp because of it.
