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, 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...

Hey Jim from my reading Windows 7 uses many of the Vista drivers. If your software works with Vista,there's a good chance it will work with Windows 7. You do realize you have Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit? I use both..64 bit on the main rig and 32 bit on the other two.

Sorry... they said the app would not initiate in that OS.... it is in their plans.... but not done yet. They usualy lag behind the new OS' several months after the OS has been fully released.

Oil well. Wadaya gonna do?

Would getting a Gig a bit router and the necessary NIC card for the laptop, as well as the different ethernet cables for it to supply the desktops be worth doing, ya think?
