1by1: feature request, ram cache songs

petrus · Postet hier einiges

I was just thinking, would it make sense to have an option to cache/copy whole songs into ram before playing, instead of just the 200kb or 20s buffer? So there is zero disk access while playing a song. What do you think? Thanks!

Where would you define the limit? Some tracks are 5 MB, some are 200 MB. And where is the benefit of zero disk access? I think almost every player uses continouus disk access, don't they? May be enlarging to 500 KB should be possible. Large storage will be more complicated as I think.

Define large, and set the limit just before that?
Couldn't it be defined in the options manually?

I can have always search for time enabled because of the SSD
and i could have ram cache enabled because of my 16GB ram.

So if the USB thumb drive with the mp3 is removed, for example, the podcast can continue because it's cached into ram!
