Title: Software V's Hardware
Post by: cynicmonster on June 28, 2007, 10:51:13 am
Hi All :),

Quick question...

I am currently running my old pc (AMD-K6 - my first pc...lol  :cheers:)., with WinCab, as a dedicated jukebox.

I am finding that, at times, my music will:

1) Jump a track (although I think this has to do with scratches on CD's during ripping);

2) Provide a not-so-nice 'static' sound when the page is turned (0.25- 0.5 sec.).

3) stutter between page turns.

I have added a sound card, but wonder if I need to upgrade the graphics...
I have dropped my display to the min. , but to no avail...

It doesn't happen all the time (maybe 1 in 6 page turns...?)

I have read in other posts about buffers...'Please Explain...' (ask an Aussie...lol   ;D)

Do I need to upgrade the processor/system or  look at upgrading the graphics?

I am no expert in these fields, so advice is welcome.

Maybe chris can answear these problems in the wincab forum?

songs should not been skipped if played with mp3 in wincap.

You may need to rerip with maximum on 2 or 4x speed with problem cd. The higher speed you rip, the more inaccurate it may been due (speciel witch scrathes and so).
