Jplay

[Morten]

Hi Morten,

I haven't tested hibernate mode yet, I haven't even used JPlay mini yet as well. Don't know if I will as well as I'm not the kind of listener that works with playlists, I listen from song to song or album to album and can change from artist, genre etc. in a whim and want to be able to do so with absolute freedom and not more than a touch on my iPad. I really don't want to stand-up and remove a USB stick to stop playback which seems to be necessary for JPlay hibernate mode in a single PC setup. Also the Audiophile Optimizer software already limits the number of threads/services in server core mode to a bare minimum. If I ever switch to dual PC mode I might check it out.

BR,

Antoine.

Hello Antoine.

I listen in exactly the same way that you do :-)

If you are willing to give Foobar a try you could use hibernation, you will then need to fork out the 3€ for the MonkeyMote APP on you iPad—it is used to control Foobar.

To clarify.

You can run a single PC setup where the PC is in hibernation mode.
The music will be controlled from you iPad with the MonkeyMote APP

The shortcoming is that the music must be stored on a “Local drive” I only have a small hard disk in my PC—hence I am experimenting with setting up a virtual hard disk connected to my NAS or Router, I think I got it to work, but if I don’t I will procure a 1TB SSD disk, I think the improvement in sound is worth it:-)

I learned this when I asked a question on the Jplay forum, it was a nice surprise and I have for good given up any plans to try JRiver.

Sorry to hear that, and again I respect everyone's opinion.

I have been using JRiver since late v18, then v19, and now version 20 and I am completely honest when I say it has never crashed here, not once. The same goes for JPlay, but I have only recently started using that.

So it can be stable but of course it's important to use good, high quality computer parts. Also I have disabled any- and everything in JRiver that I don't need for music playback.

It must be something with Windows and Intel NUC combined with Jiver. First I had an i3 version then i5 NUC. Both W7 and 2012R2. Same type of crash. I know many have the kind of stability with Jriver as you have and that is part of the good reputation Jriver has. So I guess I just have bad luck.. I know I've tried to fix the problems - posted on interact and gotten good responses, but not been able to find the cause.

Hello ogs

You could try Foobar, together with the MonkeyMote APP on you iPad—it is used to control Foobar.

I like it, easy to use and it has some good feaures.

The possibility to have lyrics on many songs
A good search function

To name a few :-)

Kind regards Morten
