question regarding foobar (Off Topic)

Hi Taki,

I just experimented with the buffering settings for the tracks. I can set this to 50.000kB (perhaps a bit higher) without skipping between tracks, this is more then most files are in size. The value you can set depends on the speed of your computer. When the tracks are read from a network HDD then it will take longer to have it read into memory, then the value should be lower.

Try to maximize the buffer value for your PC speed until it does not skip anymore. You do need to restart foobar and select a different CD though because that data is already in memory.

I would set the file buffer between 20.000 and 50.000kB. If you never hear skipping again then the value is not too high, if you do hear it skipping once in a while then decrease that value. Each 10.000kB block is already 1 minute of music...

Ciao,

Bert
