I feel the Wasapi in windows 7 has evolved in to great sound. So I prefer Wasapi over ASIO. Please try this player and Windows 7 combination.<br />Thanks for developing such a wonderful player<br />TeerthUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699396220747482465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444743050720235306.post-66430226750219796592009-11-28T05:34:22.255-08:002009-11-28T05:34:22.255-08:00BTW have you seen my latest post

It's working and the sound quality is even better.<br />I would like to know weither there would be a way to know from the same batch when the file has been played (maybe check file size and run a counter with 1 sec equal x Ko).

First of all many thanks for your answer...Hi Andy,<br /><br />First of all many thanks for your answer.<br />From my side i'm using your player as well as SoftSqueeze and cPlay/cMP in ASIO only.<br /><br />I really don't know weither Wasapi is better than ASIO, i use XP, and i even don't know weither pro sound card would support wasapi ?<br /><br />What i firmly beleive is that the player computer should be as light as possible and so the UI should be handled from another computer.<br /><br />The advantage of using squeezecenter is that it has a lot of fan that are adding plugins and are making it a very nice ui system to play with. Along to that it brings the ability to synchronise the main HiFi system to other squeesebox systems.<br /><br />When i use your player i only need 8 process (9 with RPC, which is more convenient)and 20 M0, when i use Softsqueeze ASIO i only need 9 process (10 with RPC) and 26 M0. I have the feeling that if your player could be adressed (like softsqueese) with an ip from another computer it could replace softsqueeze.<br /><br />The dream would be to put the file squeecenter is ready to play in the ip adressed computer's memory, lock its memory, play the music, than we would have best of both world, nice ui and nice music quality.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />JeanJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17183828336379414001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444743050720235306.post-24200028660610892112009-11-20T13:23:09.258-08:002009-11-20T13:23:09.258-08:00Hi Jean,

Which might badly influence SQ. I will give it more thought later.<br /><br />I see that http://softsqueeze.sourceforge.net/ latest version has ASIO and headless features.
