Is J River MC 12 slow for you too?


For whatever reason, using my NEW Toshiba laptop with Vista 32 SP 1, and J River 12.534 over a wireless connection to a NAS HDD… I’m getting severe lags or delays when selecting tracks.

11 to 15 seconds is common.

The same tracks selected with other media players does not have this delay aspect, and they play near immediately… regardless the file type or size.

This also is happening with FUBAR.

Windows Media Player, and iTunes have no such problems, all else being the same.

I’VE TRIMMED DOWN mc 12 ON THE LAPTOP TO MUSIC ONLY PLAYBACK… NO TAGGING, NO ART WORK SEEKING… ETC.

i'M GETTING SCANT LITTLE AID FROM THE jr mc FORUM, SO i THOUGHT TO ASK HERE.

Any experience, ideas or solutions?

Well, for the most part, many if not all special video effecs, images, views, etc., destroy my accessibility software immediately, or the OS hangs & crashes.

If you'd care to get with me later on I'd be interested in seeing more on your config.... although I do really want to use the Iomega NAS 1TB HDD for storage and access to data.

What's this "Windows #7 " business? Is it a Vista upgrade?

My Desktops run ether net cables and have little noitceable issues, if any.

I'm wondering if MC ought to be downloaded and installed onto the NAS ITSELF?

WHY? Windows media and iTunes are already on it as OEM apps, and those apps on the pc's have no issues accessing and playing music files immediately. ???

Windows 7 is Microsoft's newest OS. It is due to release in July. You can go to Microsoft and download it for free on a trial.. I really like this new OS...it makes networking VERY EASY if you have a home network. It's faster then Vista..though I had no problems with Vista service pack 2..which ran great!

I'll second the Windows 7 plug...I like it a lot. (and I'm a Linux guy mostly).

Well, here we go again... not your fault so don't worry... that accessibility software I mentioned earlier? It has to be supported on 'whatever OS' for it to run. Without it, my PCs are doorstops or platers.

I saw no support for the Windows 7 OS. Nor for any 64 bit OS. No Linux, no Mac. NADA. If Bill gates hasn't got his thumbprint on it, AND it's been around a while too (so the designers can catch up to the changes), it's a no go fo me.

I didn't see a link for the Vista SP 2 download at MS website either... just the "7" which is not supported for my use.

This sucks... sometimes...
