Long delay when skipping songs
TexasRockbox:
I've noticed this behavior in builds after 11/25/07-ish  -- it's as if the hard drive gets "lost" and can't find its way.
However, with the more recent builds (3/07/08) I do note that when:
1. Directory Cache is tuned off
2. Auto-change to the next directory is turned off
the problem becomes virtually non-existent. Â One has skip forward/backward pretty fast to make it happen, regardless. Â Perhaps trying either or both steps will help.
NaFIann:
I've just installed a standard rockbox version r16592-080309 and the problem still exists.
Most of my files are reasonably high bitrate, but it also happens with 192 kbps mp3's.
I'm not sure where to turn off directory cache and I'm fairly sure I never ise auto-changing to the next directory (its always on shuffle and repeat-all)
TexasRockbox:
I think the default for both items is "No" or "Off". However, I don't use shuffle or repeat so maybe that's the difference.
ki:
I've been having the same problem. It seems to take a long time to load the new song after skipping forward or back. Sometimes up to 30 seconds for me. I've also noticed it seems to get worse the longer the player has been playing. (If I reboot, it works fine for a while)
I'll try turning directory cache off and see how it goes.
NaFIann: You can turn it off in "settings>general>system>disk"

I Too have seen this problem And it is at first start up when the buffer is filling the hard disk is accessed contnually. Also orther functions don't work during this period try shutting down!
This seen on an ipod video 5g.
