Re: Loading entire music file onto RAM before playback

I agree with you KLS. I have tried the RamDisk from "SuperSpeed" and there is a noticeable improvement in sound quality. By using a RamDisk, you eliminate any moving parts (spinning drive) and power loads associated with using internal hard disk I/O. Of course, to be fully effective, make sure you are not using any other programs while listening to music (including Virus Scans) - nothing that will make the internal drive spin. Also, when playing music from a RamDisk, I set my playback buffers (in foobar) to 0. Sounds better to me.
