NEW: Improved memory playback

Memory playback now holds decoded data in memory instead of encoded data.
This means playing any form of lossless (WAV, FLAC, APE, ALAC, etc.) will have identical data in memory and identical resource usage.
Benefits
The theoretical benefits of memory playback are that no disk or network I/O occurs while playing and that CPU load during playback could be reduced.
Sound Quality
JRiver is unaware of any test that shows a sound quality advantage to memory playback.
The option was added due to popular demand.

Thanks much.
This feature should make a lot of customers happy and end a lot of debates.

On the two computers I've had since I started using J River, memory playback has only had a negative effect on SQ in my ears. I have frequently tested it but have always ended up leaving that particular box unticked. But it will be interesting to see (hear) if the new implementation improves things. I definitely prefer Pure Music on the mac in memory playback mode and I believe that player decodes the audio files before putting them in memory. Same with Audirvana which is also a very good sounding audio player for the mac.
Either way, I'm really happy with the way MC 18 sounds without using memory playback so I won't be very disappointed if the new implementation of memory playback doesn't add anything. And I use wav with MC anyway, so the theoretical advantages compared to the old implementation should be even less noticeable.
Anyway; thanks for continuing to develop this great piece of software. I'm happy to continue my support by upgrading to 19.

this is fantastic!

Can we have JRiver that is 64 bit??
And choose the MAX size of the memory use for songs? I have DSD files of 128DSD or 24/192 files of FLAC and such, I want them to be fully decoded in the memory, even it use 2GB of memory or more!
I have 16GB of memory and no problems of upgrading it to 32GB, so no issues here, so?
Can it be done?
That will be great!

Last time it came up, 64-bit was not planned yet. Maybe in a future version, but i would not expect it for MC19.
