Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
How do you know Apple is using the full buffer?
No, what you've shown me is that your evidence is that Apple spends less time buffering, not that they fill the same amount of the buffer. Their firmware is several megabytes, and evidence suggests that all of it is in RAM at once, which means they have much less RAM available for audio buffer, and so could reasonably take less time to fill.
I'm quite sure rockbox has a larger buffer too....it seems to be buffering 2-4 tracks ahead on my iPod.
But LLorean's basic question was "how often does Apple firmware rebuffer?" Â I don't think he ever disputed that Apple FW appears to spend less time buffering. Â This can be tested quite simply by creating a playlist of high-bitrate music that is playable on both AppleFW and Rockbox, starting the playlist in one firmware, measuring how long the hard drive spins, then measuring how long until the drive spins again.
As Soap said, I never denied that Rockbox likely buffers more slowly. What I'd like to establish is *how much* more slowly.
