Capless playback in version 09w-3

[JohanZ]

Hi Peter,

    .....on a track of 6 minutes sometimes two times a short brake in the sound and i hear the sound of the external harddisk spinning up and down. Strange because i thought that all the tracks were playing from the internal harddisk! (Copy to XX-drive by standard). I have changed this “Split file at size” setting back to 700MB. Why do I hear this external harddisk spinning up and down during playback?  [/i]

Today i have done some tests with the split file setting of 12 MB. It's difficult to reproduce this error. On the second track of Brian Eno (now plays capless) i can reproduce this behaviour of two or three breaks in the sound and the spinning of the external harddisk (I:). Maybe it has something to do when there are capless tracks and maybe the duration of more then 7 minutes?????

See attachments.
Drive I: is the external drive.
Drive D: is music route and data folder

I'll hope you can found a trace in the attachments.

Found it !

Or at least for the case you showed;
What you did here (I think), was bringing up XX again, and reposition the time slider. But it also happens when you change the volume.
I know, this all goes unnoticed since 0.9x-4, but in the mean time sneakily the file changes. So, at first it plays from the internal drive, and at e.g. a volume change it switches to the external drive again.

If you never touch anything after a first start of playback, all should be ok.

Btw, in the XX log file these two lines exist for each track :

Short Name initiated-1 : I:\Music\ELECTR~1\BRIANE~1.PET\2001-D~1\03-LIK~1.WAV
Short Name initiated-2 : I:\Music\ELECTR~1\BRIANE~1.PET\2001-D~1\03-LIK~1.WAV

and when they would have played as intended they would have looked like

Short Name initiated-1 : 03-LIK~1.WAV
Short Name initiated-2 : 03-LIK~1.WAV

In X3 it is more direct :

Music file found : I:\Music\ELECTR~1\BRIANE~1.PET\2001-D~1\03-LIK~1.WAV

should be

Music file found : 03-LIK~1.WAV

So you can check it when you hear spinup the disks.


Something to do again ...

Solved for the next version (0.9x-5).
