In Reply to: RE: cMP and cPlay will run on Vista, but posted by msjjr on August 10, 2008 at 10:32:32
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

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.
