I assume HTdig is out of the quesion?

I dunno, I remember that Tom researched this once and didn't come up with anything suitable right away. Dunno how much effort he put into finding something. I was just bringing up the question in hopes we could noodge him about it.

Yes, the same thing happens to my player (30 GB with 1600 tracks), but at 42 seconds. The dropouts seem a little shorter in duration than the ones that occur without doing the pause at 2 seconds, but still it shouldn't happen.

Right, it shouldn't. Is it possible that some drives take longer to spinup than the player software expects? I timed my 60GB with a stopwatch, and the total spinup time for both drives is roughly 3.75 to 4 seconds. 2 seconds per drive seems normal to me, but the "W" appears at beginning of the second drive's spinup. Does anyone know the max drive spinup time that the player expects? Is there any way to adjust this easily?

I did some searching through the forum posts and found some threads of similar problems here , here , here , here , and here .

Tony,
do you know if the problem mentioned in this thread was resolved in any post 2b11 release? I looked through the release notes for beta13, but none of the bugfixes listed seemed to relate to this particular issue.

Correct, that is bug 1824 and it has not yet been marked as resolved in the internal bug list.

Thanks for checking.

It's not a fuzzy search, but it would be better than exact-phrase:

$searchArray=explode($searchString, ' ');

Then modify the SQL query to a WHERE with as many ANDs as there are words.

That's if it's being done as I would expect it is.

Aha, thanks. Back when I wrote the search code, I didn't know much about string manipulation. And I haven't had much time recently to revisit this. I will implement this soon though for the search. Hopefully tonight will be slow enough.
