Sansa Fuze V2 Rockbox delay in changing tracks

[Artmuzz]

I have Rockbox on my Sansa Fuze V2 and its great. The only problem is that it takes 2 seconds to change to another track. I thought this would of been fixed with the new V3 bootloader and Rockbox but I still get the same problem. When I press the skip button it still plays the current track then 2 seconds later it will change to the next track.

Anyone else having problems with the 2 second delay when changing tracks?

Try turning off crossfade.

Good suggestion - crossfade indeed may cause this...

FWIW, my own v2 rb Fuze switches tracks instantly, from anywhere, main memory or card.

Mine does sometimes take a few seconds to change tracks too. I've never really figured out why. I thought that some of my album art was taking a while to load, but after resizing everything to 200x200 I don't think it's the problem anymore.

I dunno, I always figured it was normal operation what with multiple file types/qualities/etc *shrug*.

Good point sunami88 - I exclusively use LAME mp3s so this might help in my case.

OT, re: AArt on Fuze. Do you use 200x200 for all the artwork? How do Rockbox themes which need much smaller than 200x200 handle that?

thanks!

Enabling the directory cache fixes track advance delays for me. Settings=>General Settings=System=Disk=Directory Cache=Yes. Reboot to enable.

@lestatar: Far as I can tell the wps display in RB will automatically stretch-to-fit any album art.

@skip252: I'll give that a shot.


UPDATE: Yep, dir cache seems to have "fixed" it. Cool.

Thanks skip252 this works a treat Now I don't have the track skipping delay problem

If you change the "Load [directory] to Ram" from no to yes, that fixes a lot of lag problems. I had issues with tracks changing rather slowly and the volume changing even slower, and this fixed it all.

There's no general settings on mine. I can go to system, but then there's not disk option.

Of course there's a general settings menu on yours, same as on any other Rockboxed player. Here's the manual: http://download.rockbox.org/daily/ma...11-1390008.5.2
