I just started using Rockbox in my 5th gen 30GB iPod with a library of FLAC files. I've noticed that the files with high sample rates (like more than 96Khz) take a long time to start playing or skipping... sometimes taking more than 15 seconds to start.
I've recently installed an mSata adapter from AliExpress with a 256GB SSD and thought it would solve the issue since the SSD is faster than the HDD but same happens. With lower-bitrate songs (like 44.1, 48khz) the playback is almost instant as it should.
With the mSata adapter, I've built the latest commit (e5ecff3db7) with the mSata patch found here:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5f3bcab69a01fdfa9f47bac73b74cf10. The error already existed before with the 3.15 version using the original HDD.
While everything works, this slowdown is very bothersome and I wonder if there is any setting to mitigate this. Since it's a fresh install, the settings are clean.
Thanks for any help!
