CD Player

[DRONE7]

Hi Bob,

Sorry for the spelling mistake, the sad effect of copy/paste, you make the mistake once, and it multiplies. I've pushed a corrected version. 
I have like you some dropouts, I guess it's related to my very cheap DVD player, bought for 16€. I need to test the effect of Sox on the buffering forcing. Maybe a setting in the MPD configuration can also solve the problem. I haven't checked yet but I ordered a new less cheap drive (an ASUS for 40€), mine is way too noisy.
Cheers,

Eric

Hi Eric,
No probs with the spelling...just reporting  

I have tried changing buffers, cache to ram, and output buffer, but to no avail.

Interestingly.... some CDs play fine and others have dropouts... those that play fine all have retrieved artwork... those that don't do not..... do you have the same ?
I have replayed a CD with dropouts and they happen at the same point each time...though the CD is clean and works well on other players...

The cover database only picks up about one in 6 CDs... Perhaps include other sites ?  (Beets seems to have that covered )

Bob
