Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #18916 (April 18th 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs) | Latest WACUP public preview is build #17040 (September 30th 2023) (x86 only)


NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.

Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

Full File Buffering
« on: January 03, 2021, 07:03:03 PM »
The Nullsoft MPEG Audio Decoder (in_mp3.dll) has a full file buffering feature. This feature allows an entire file, less than a specified size, to be read from it's storage drive to RAM before playback starts. After enabling this feature (a few years ago), I no longer experience any stuttering during playback of my mp3 files (< 20 minutes in length) no matter what else I'm using my computer for at the same time.

I sometimes experience a little stuttering with other file formats, depending on what else I'm doing with my computer. Going forward, can a full file buffering feature be implemented for all supported file formats?
