Hi cics:
I have try the cPlay,it's sound good very much.Thanks for your effort.
I want ask a question:Can cMP install with VISTA?Because I think VISTA take good sound.

cMP and cPlay will run on Vista, but - cics 09:04:01 08/10/08 (15)
Vista limits amount of RAM that cPlay can use and you cannot get AWE optimization.

  cics:
  so Do you suggest use XP SP2?insteat of VISTA?
  - XP SP2 pro is a better option - cics 23:30:48 08/10/08 (7)
    Vista will be replaced in 18-24 months with Windows 7 (already being tested by MS partners).

      Hi cics:
      I have try install VISTA and install cPLAY;then open diagnostics,it show AWE successful.
      I run cPLAY use "145.68 db" & "176.4",RME 9632 card,latency 0.2 ms;it's sound good very much,and I like run in VISTA much more XP SP2.
      FYI.

        Are you running Vista SP1 Enterprise in 32bit or 64bit?
        
        Has anyone try 64bit XP Pro or Vista Enterprise? With the 64bit OS, I assume we have the flexibility of loading more memory. For a pure music server, it will be an overkill; but if one wants to use it as HTPC, being able to address 8GB or more memory opens another great door of opportunity. :)
        
        Thanks.

        I running Vista SP1 Enterprise in 32bit.
        I have tried install 64 bit(XP) already,
        but I have filename is encoding BIG5,
        the 64 bit only have English version,
        so I rollback to 32bit.
        I install 64bit OS want to install more memory,and can use large ramdisk.
        But after use cPLAY,it's no need ramdisk again,so I think 64bit OS no need.
        I recommand VISTA instead XP,I feel good on VISTA much better than XP.
        Thanks cics very much!

        Others could never get Lock privileges to work OR does Vista enable this by default?

        Hi cics:
        Because my English is poor,I can't really understand your meaning.
        I install VISTA SP1 Enterprise version,no other special software.
        I just setup the option follow your method,and can use AWE successful.
        If the Diagnostics show AWE successful,does it means really get Lock privileges OK?
        
        Yes that means Vista SP1 Enterprise version allows for AWE. - cics 02:53:27 08/16/08 (1)

        cPlay would otherwise fail on AWE allocation.
        
        It's good to know which flavour of Vista offers AWE.

  Hi cics. Do you forsee cPlay working well on Vista one day? My computer has Vista OS and I don't see myself getting XP at any time.
  - RE: cMP and cPlay will run on Vista, but - cics 23:32:08 08/10/08 (4)
    cPlay is fully operational in Vista - it's Vista that doesn't offer AWE. To my knowledge that's the only difference.

      Hi,
      
      isn't that an disadvantage in sound quality using Vista? I am a little bit confused, because everyone is talking about better sound quality with Vista (vs. XP)...
      
      Regards
      Thomas

        Actually, you can set up A.W.E. in Vista Ultimate, Enterprise, and I think Business versions - almost exactly same procedure as in XP.
        cPlay is fine in Vista, but cMP is a bit harder to set up - have to get everything just right to get into cMP mode.
        
        cMP has one big problem in Vista: When you go to Add folders to the cMP library, all you can see in the browser is the Desktop. This gives you 2 annoying options: 1 - have all your music stored on the Desktop (bad, because then your music is in the same partition as the OS, and all is lost with a system crash) 2 - edit all your cuesheets to show the full file address and store the cuesheets on the Desktop (better, but a big editing job)
        
        There are a couple of reasons Vista doesn't sound as good as XP imo, (although an unoptimized XP probably sounds worse): 1. You can't do as much optimisation with Vista - some services and processes can't be disabled, and it is not possible to get minlogon to work. (I did manage to fool WRP and replace winlogon, but minlogon simply won't operate on reboot) 2. There is just something about Vista audio - it produces great clarity, especially in higher range, but with what I have come to call the Vista "twang" - over-accentuated highs with a bit of an edge. To me the overall balance and the midrange are not as pleasing as a fully optimised XP setup.

        Very interesting! I would like to try an optimized XP-Version :-) Can you give me any link what to do?
        By the way: I am more interested in cPlay than cMP this moment...
        Thanks a lot!

        You do the optimisations yourself on XP SP2 or SP3! Follow the "Art of Building Computer Transport", and cMP threads (I know it's a maze to sort through the threads here!) and you'll find all the details. It's about shutting off unnecessary processes and services, and performance optimisations, etc. Using cMP is then the final optimisation.
