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?

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?

I use MC 12.534 every day. I don't see any appreciable delay when selecting tracks. My main library has about 27,000 tracks. I have the music files and the library database files on the PC running MC 12.

Did you place the library on the laptop or on the NAS? Even if you aren't using tags, MC 12 is using the library.

How are you selecting tracks if you aren't using tags?

MC is a Windows application so it won't run on a NAS that isn't running on some version Windows or providing an emulator environment like Wine.

Win 7 isn't relevant to your problem. Nor is MC 13. You need to diagnose your problem and solve it.

I'd suggest that you try again posting on the J. River MC 12 forum. I'll look for your post if I know your screen name on that forum.
