One thing that's frustrating on HD based players are the pauses when
skipping to other tracks. That could be improved by pre-emptively
caching track beginnings.
For example, the previous and next track's first few chunks could be
cached, so that skipping tracks is instant. Or, in the file browser
the same thing could happen with the currently selected file. All
this could be done in the background with any spare CPU cycles.
Any thoughts? Is there enough memory for this? -- gl
Memory, yes. But this will *eat* your battery as the HD would have to be
spinning all the time to keep up with the cursor when you're browsing files.
