Is J River MC 12 slow for you too?


For whatever reason, using my NEW Toshiba laptop with Vista 32 SP 1, and J River 12.534 over a wireless connection to a NAS HDD… I’m getting severe lags or delays when selecting tracks.

11 to 15 seconds is common.

The same tracks selected with other media players does not have this delay aspect, and they play near immediately… regardless the file type or size.

This also is happening with FUBAR.

Windows Media Player, and iTunes have no such problems, all else being the same.

I’VE TRIMMED DOWN mc 12 ON THE LAPTOP TO MUSIC ONLY PLAYBACK… NO TAGGING, NO ART WORK SEEKING… ETC.

i'M GETTING SCANT LITTLE AID FROM THE jr mc FORUM, SO i THOUGHT TO ASK HERE.

Any experience, ideas or solutions?

Jim not sure what's going on there brother. I'm running MC13 using Windows 7 playing music to a remote wireless desktop in my office..there's no lag time at all..zero.

I do notice when I'm streaming movies or music to my laptop in the kitchen..I get lag times unlike when streaming to both Desktops.

My configuration is setup a little different I believe. I use Harddrives connected directly to my main PC..sharing them with the network. My main PC must stay on..but it works very well.

Maybe you should try it like this and see what you think.

By the way, does MC12 have the interactive 3D viewing? If not..you should give MC13 a try..this is extremely cool!! Not to be confused with Theater view which is nice as well.

Best wishes

Windows 7 is Microsoft's newest OS. It is due to release in July. You can go to Microsoft and download it for free on a trial.. I really like this new OS...it makes networking VERY EASY if you have a home network. It's faster then Vista..though I had no problems with Vista service pack 2..which ran great!

Hey Jim from my reading Windows 7 uses many of the Vista drivers. If your software works with Vista,there's a good chance it will work with Windows 7. You do realize you have Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit? I use both..64 bit on the main rig and 32 bit on the other two.
