Thanks Jim. Now that this feature/method is in our favorite player, it can't hurt to try it. I wasn't about to load some special player to do this.
This has been and will be a very contentious point in hi-fi circles as many believe it is mainly the PSU and excessive activity of the system which can introduce jitter at the source. Engineers like Dan Lavry will say this can be handled in the DAC and others claim otherwise.
You have been warned ;D

Hi.
Great feature!, in order to complete this, do you know how we could have a complete playlist or album (the tracks that have to be played) copied from their original path (saying a massive Raid 5 hard disk) to the system disk where MC is installed and then be played from this new path?
Thanks a lot.

Well, to be honest, there is a lot of BS in the hi-fi-circles.. People claiming the strangest things.

I think adding the feature was a good idea. I just turned it on and instead of seeing network activity of 0.05 to 0.45% the entire duration of the song, I see ~35% for a second and then nothing. Seems like less wear and tear on hard drives overall. I only notice about a second delay when loading large 150MB FLAC songs. Typical 30MB FLAC (average length songs) are apparently instantaneous. I'll leave it on for a while.
