RE: cMP - the open source high-end Memory Player

Hello everyone,

I have put together a temporary version of cPlay with cMP on a regular P4 just to get familiar with the process. I have a few questions and observations.

1. Is cMP really needed as I was able to run the batch files directly which works much better right now. If I try with cMP unpredictable crashes happen. What functions apart from running the batch files does cMP do? What am I losing by not using cMP?

2. Even on this relatively crappy PC -1.4ghz P4 with Intel motherboard the sound output through the analog of my M-Audio 2496, the sound was very, very good.

3. I am running XP with SP-3 and don't seem to have any issue with SP-3. However the copy of Windows I am using has been heavily stripped already with nLite and only requires a third of the changes as the rest is simply not there to begin with. You can download it here: http://www.nliteos.com/download.html . I am hoping to build a custom install CD that will have everything we need on it including cPlay.

4. Tonight will build a real system using a donated Biostar motherboard and my new Juli@ sound card. As I don't yet have an outboard DAC I am forced to use the analog outputs. Is the Juli@'s analog section better than M-Audio's?

BTW I work in computers and with Windows and can understand most of the changes suggested. I also have a friend who is working with me (building his own system) and together we are pondering ideas to improve what's already been done including simplifying the install process.

Thank-you cics for your tireless patience in perusing this project. It is very much appreciated.
Frodan
