Hi,
on my Notebook (WinXP SP2, 2GB RAM) I have lags while singing a song. It occurs at random positions at the song, that a short piece of music ist repeated two or three times until playback goes on (but now behind the text flow). At the same time when this happens I can see the HDD LED changing from off to on. Because of this I think music is not loaded fast enough from HDD into RAM. Is it possible to cache the whole MP3 in RAM to prevent these lags?

Do you have debug mode enabled? If so, big debug file is being created when singing.

Hello corvus5,
no, debug mode isn't enabled. Interested in my config.ini?

Hello,
updated today to version 0.5.3. I also moved UltraStar-Installation from my intern hdd to an crypted USB-HDD. Now the error is gone, but I have another bug in randomize-function (see extra post).

Hello,
yesterday I tested version 0.5.3 about two or three hours, without any lags. Sometimes I hear some klicks in playback for 3...5 seconds, that's all.
I cannot say what caused the bug, I got a new mainboard for my Notebook with new bios, and I changed hdd. After that the bug was present in version 0.5.2.
Then I moved installation to an TrueCrypt-encrypted external usb hdd and updated to version 0.5.3, and now the bug is gone.

I made some preloading in US which was probably introduced in 0.5.3. That's why it may work better on your machine.

A similar thing is also happening to myself with my Laptop, it seems to have a bit of trouble every now and again, and the txt ends up ahead of the song, and where it's registering from.
