Try switching MC options for Playback between Direct Sound and Wave Out. See also options for playback.
More information about what you're doing would help.

playing any of 500gb of personal music on my internal hard drive.
thats all. no other programs working. i am also having difficulty because the program freezes & "program not responding" occurs atleast a few times a day.
then it promps me to disable 3rd party...back up files........etc...
my music can play with no inturruption the it just goes buggy.
does this sound like a driver issue?
thanks for your reply
-
you mean direct sound for audio right?
i did this- and waveout. didnt help.
then i closed program, still hanging up. i rebooted, still hanging up.

playing any of 500gb of personal music on my internal hard drive.
What format?
-
all .mp3
-
Any third party plug-ins or programs for MC?
-
not of my doing.
but i'm not sure.
i've not used this option, as i am a bit of a novice.
i clicked tools-plugin manager
and didnt see any that had been downloaded amoung the options i could download.
then i looked in j river folder-plugins
TiVoBeacon
mppenc
oggenc
are the only applications listed
google, youtube, wiki are links not a plug in right?
so thats all i can give without help on locating possible plug ins.

Try this thread for ideas:

You may have a hardware problem. Disk drive in PIO instead of DMA, for example.

that will keep me busy- post later. thanks. j :P

i was told by my computer builder that i have SATA hard drives not IDE.
i understand this means that it is N/A.
anything else you can suggest. ill take it.
thanks.j

My guess is your thumbnails might not be built.
To test this theory, just remove the Image (small thumbnail) column for Playing Now.
How do you do that ?
on the main menu, View->Customise View
Look at the centre of the dialog that pops up and has a list with the title 'columns to show'
Select the above field and then click remove button and then OK.
Then tell us whether it made any difference or not.
-
thanks for the advice. i haven't had the problems in about 1 1/2 days.
my assumption is that you might be right-because after the auto import (thumbnails building during this- over 50,0000 songs) completed last time, Ive been free of problems. but, im holding my breath.
if it happens again-i will surely remove the column of thumbnails.
i will update later. thanks again. j
-
If your thumbs are already built then removing the mentioned column will not serve any purpose.
-
thanks for your reply. it must have been the thumbnails-because i havent had any further problems after they were built.
i appreciate the knowledge & advice given. j
