Title: APE Fades
Post by: Mr ChriZ on July 18, 2005, 04:11:44 pm

Howdie.
I'm currently on version 305.
Over the last few weeks i've noticed when
moving between ape files the fading is very slow > +10 secs
however moving between mp3's is fine.
During these 10 secs MC is untouchable and doesn't redraw, and also brings
processor usage up to 100% meaning other apps grind to a halt.
After this started I've actually gone from 2k to XP as a new
MS windows update bu**red my machine up.  This was a clean installation
with a clean installation of 305.
I generally move up every 5 versions so... haven't downloaded 309 yet...
just curious if anyone else is having similar issues..

Make sure your files aren't on a PIO drive or a slow wireless connection.

Also, it helps if you don't use 'Extra High' compression as it's a lot slower for not a lot of gain.  This isn't much of an issue with modern computers though.
