Ooh, this could get expensive fast. It just sounds like it has to be hardware since it's not consistent, but then again WMP or the mp3 codec may have a bug (as if it doesn't have enough). Is the file really huge or super high bitrate? Anything really different about it?
nope...the file is pretty normal. every one of my mp3's were ripped and encoded with CDex/LAME encoder. funny thing is, everything is hunky dory in Centrafuse and RR...go figure. Maybe I'll just wait for Take 4 :D
I also have this same problem with mp3's.
I just think has anybody installed that CD/Ex to carputer and tried that? If there isn't just a good codec for wmp10 to handle?? i will try that at home tomorrow, and if no one else has tried it i'll tell result's
Specs from system
Via Epia m800
WinXP sp2
wmp10
All codecs from frodos site.
369MB system memory with 133MHz
200G harddisk with 2MB cache
Via's own soundcard
Same problem here...
I think this must be something WMP or Frodoplayer is doing. I don't think it's the mp3 files because they play fine in other media players and systems. Similarly, I don't think it's a hardware issue because the files play fine with different media players.
Not sure how the visualizations work. Even if they are not visible, are they still in memory and executing some of their code? If so, maybe every few songs, they try to recalculate some values or do some processing? I know I can't run the visualizations at full screen because they look like crap (2 - 3 fps).
It also seems like it might be caching something every few songs. Some WMP logs or something? I wish I knew! :confused:
My Specs:
M10k
512 Mb Ram
2.5" 20Gb hard drive - 2Mb cache
WinXP
Frodoplayer 1.09 tk3
djScript's YAFP skin (LCDN.ttf font)
WMP 10
What vis are you all using ? Maybe there is a commonality.
I haven't touched wmp 10 since I installed it, so I'm "using" the default one, whatever it is. I never actually use it, so I have no idea what it is...
I have the same problem.... has anyone fixed this yet? It really is so annoying....
try changing your FrodoPlayer shortcuts to
cmd /c start "runhigh" /high "c:\program files\frodoplayer\frodoplayer.exe"
Didn't work for me. Still stutters on starting random songs.
It's not as bad as before, but it's still definitely there
