Time countdown
« on: May 21, 2002, 09:42:10 pm »

I only play tracks from the local disks, unskinned.
When a track is finishing, the next track is displayed and a negative time countdown starts. It's a little bit confusing. I've played around the performance slider, but couldn't find a way to avoid the countdown, which lasts from 7 to 9 seconds.
What else should I do? I remember an old thread on this subject, but don't remember the answer.

The difference is because of buffering.  MJ reads ahead while playing.

If you are getting a long gap between songs, that is not normal.  Check your playback settings and playback options on the right most button in the player window (below volume slider).

Tks Jim, but I don't notice any gap between tracks (my setting is "gapless"). I understand that the behavior depends from buffering, but my point is: the program knows that it's still playing the old track (since it displays the countdown), so why not leaving the old track information on the display until the countdown is over? It would be less confusing. Of course it's a minor problem, but in my opinion it subtracts something from the beauty of MJ.
