<br>I don't see any of such big delays or slowdowns using an 3 years old Athlon<br>XP 2 GHz. Track change time is in the order of 0,1 s. May be your machine is<br>much older.<br>> Another suggestion is to include a third party codec to play WMA loseless

<br>would be libxine and phonon mailing lists. Anyway, I'd suggest you not to use<br>undocumented propietary fileformats and use any other free-as-in-freedom<br>fully-documented file formats. For losless you could use flac, for example.
