Many of the audiophile suggestions are valuable, but some are not. I don't want to lend our credibility to the ones that aren't.
I agree, in fact I do think that it is often not.
But this raises the question why you implemented Memory Playback at all.
Im afraid for pure opportunistic reasons.
Something quick and dirty allowing you to say we have memory playback.
Why is it limited to 256?
I do have tracks in my collection > 256 (modern classical)
Why not make it a user configurable parameter?
Current implementation doesnt do much, it only eliminates head movements.
Does that improve the credibility in the audiophile community?
In other words, if you go the audiophile way, go all the way.
BTW: I use memory playback simply because my HD is a bit noisy.
