In Reply to: RE: cMP - no files in explorer window, only desktop?? posted by jammypan@gmail.com on September 11, 2008 at 23:05:19
My friends strongly advocate Vista over XP for music playback. They claim that Vista is superior due to MMCSS (Multimedia Class Scheduler service) sound card drivers and WASAPI output support, which allows applications to bypass windows mixer and API. However, most of them use foobar2000 as their playback program and are hesitant to switch to cMP^2.
Please let us know whether you've tested cMP^2 on both XP and Vista, and if you feel any significant difference. I'd love to do the comparison myself, but I won't be able to gather accurate results due to certain difficulties I'm facing on my current system.
Follow Ups:
cMP will not work on VISTA,cause when add media,the dialog bos only show "Desktop" icon,no other Directory like "C:" or "D:".
I just use cPLAY on VISTA SP1.
I prefer VISTA SP1,and now RME driver support MMCSS(only) for VISTA.
Thank you for your answers. As a RME9632 user, I'm eager to test the new MMCSS mechanism. However, I'm hesitant to switch to Vista, since cics recommends XP Pro SP2, and (correct me if I'm wrong) Vista - being a memory hog - would require the use of over 1GB RAM.
Please enlighten me with your first hand experiences. How does cMP^2 actually *sound* under Vista, and is it that much better than XP? I don't intend to sound doubtful, it's just that I've had bad experiences using Vista on my gaming computer and my girlfriend's laptop (with 1G RAM, ugh), it seemed clusmy and packed compared to XP Pro. Or am I'm just ignorant of advanced Vista optimizations? :P
As I reported just a few posts up in this topic, you can use cMP in vista if you put your music library on the desktop or if you put on the desktop cuesheets that use full addresses for the music files in your library located elsewhere.
I have try add directory on VISTA successful.
When I start play use cMP,the Diagnostics box show:
The task "c:\program files\foobar2000....."
but I install the cPLAY on "d:\program files\cPlay",
How can I change this setting?
> How can I change this setting?
In your D:\program files\cMP folder, open the file called cicsMemoryPlayer.pth with Notepad. The second line reads:
CUE_PLAYER #N "c:\program files\cics Play\cicsPlay.exe" %C
Changing C:\ to D:\ and saving the file should work.

Thanks to all,I play cPLAY in cMP successful.
But there come some problem.
1.It only add Desktop folder(I use VISTA SP1),and if my music file on drive D: or other,cMP can't find it.
2.When play about 3-5 mins,it will play abnormal sound;I will try other configuration.
But I think cPLAY 1.3 SSE3 version is good enough!
there is a way to do this that was described by cics. do a pcaudio advanced search: author cics; key words cplay, foobar. try that
I don't know w=how to do "put your music library on the desktop".
for ex:My music file put on "D:\jazz" or "D:\rock",I create a shortcut on desktop point to the directory.
But when add file on cMP,just only show "Desktop" icon,no other directory.
Finally,I try cMP^2 on VISTA SP1(Enterprise)successful.
But.....,so sad,there is some problem.
When I play a song,after about 3-5 mins,there comes some error,play abnormal.
So I forget cMP^2 on VISTA,just use cPLAY.
I think cPLAY is good enough!
Boy I can't help you on your issue. I think only someone like cics can. But I encourage you to keep trying to get cmp to work, In xp it is really that much better.
Thanks,I will try it.
In the path file,should I change the path to the cicsplay.bat instead of cicsplay.exe?
And how can I change the desktop data folder to the "Y:",because I store my music file on Disk Y.
Im my cicsmemory player file it says: CUE_Player # "c:program files\cics play\cicsplay.exe" %C
For getting your data I'm not sure I know the answer. But if you are in cplay screen and you press stop, then press the folder you get all the data showing on c drive. If you click cdrive and go up a level you can drill down to any drive (desk top, d, c, g whatever).
Yes,I play cMP + cPLAY successful;but I need put the CUE file on Desktop.
But My music on DISK D:,I try modify the CUE file such as ---> FILE "C:\Music\01 Track01.wav" WAVE
;there will be some error.
I want to ask,how all manage your music file?
If you have a folder with your cuesheets, with full address, in it on the desktop in Vista, cMP will organize them by genre and performer when you Add them in cMP Settings. Edit the cuesheets to begin like this:REM GENRE Classical
PERFORMER "Buxtehude"
TITLE "Harpsichord Music, Vol.3 - Lars Ulrik Mortensen"(I make the composer into the performer for classical music, to simplify things)
In cMP click Settings, highlight the folder with your cuesheets, use Add button to add the folder to cMP. Sometimes you may have to Remove it first and add again before cMP sees it.
