Will there ever be a 64 bit version of JRiver? It would be great to have this on a 64 bit Operating system.

[Scolex]

You can run it on a 64bit system I have been for about 4.5 years or whenever Vista came out.

There is not much point in a 64-Bit version of many apps (incl MC) as long as they are happy with their sub 4GB memory space.  Additional complications would also exist as all the DirectShow filters etc when then need to be ported to 64-Bit as well and for no real benefit.  As Scolex points out, MC runs fine on Win 64-Bit OS (all my PC's that have had 4GB or more mem have been on 64-Bit since Vista as well).

Isn't this true.... When you run a 32 bit app on a 64 bit operating system runs in a virtual environment which makes it compatible with a 64 bit OS? I see this as 1 less process if the App is a 64 bit app. Please correct me if I am wrong.

32-bit applications run native assembly code on a 64-bit OS, and perform as well (and sometimes better) than on a 32-bit OS.

Native 64-bit compilation can make some things faster.  Raw memory movement may be 10% faster for example, but there's also twice the memory overhead for a lot of things.  I would say it's mostly a wash for performance.

Currently it makes a lot of sense for the OS to be 64-bit and not that much sense for most applications to be 64-bit.

I have 16GB of fast RAM on my audio PC.
The > 5000 albums archive is on NAS
The PC is up 24/7

You can preload some playlists into memory, I see that MC is sluggish with my music vault

Is the "music vault" your NAS?

Are you using an antivirus program?  It may be checking all your media files every time you open one.  Media files should be excluded.  You can test by uninstalling the antivirus program.

Yes

Maybe Microsoft Security Essentials. Not sure, I will check.

Today many people have more than 4GB of memory installed, can you make any use of it?

1) Yes, it was the Microsoft Security Essentials, after I added audio files to the exception list, the delay almost disappeared. Thanks for the tip, Jim!

2) Do you have any idea what can I do with the extra RAM to speed-up the operation further?

[JimH]

Thanks for reporting the solution.

No.  But start a new topic if you want to discuss it.
