I can't help but think that if one has a system which is affected by the kinds of variables that cmp attempts to address one would be better to investigate means of isolating playback from those variable rather than merely reducing their effects.

On the other hand, the effectiveness of the software would appear to be extremely system dependent (how much of this is going to be useful for someone running a USB or firewire async interface, or what about those who stream audio from a nas rather than a local disk). This is a stark contrast to some of the "it's magic, just trust us" lines one tends to hear from those behind some other audiophile media players. IMO, cmp is an interesting project, and I like how the developer explains the theory upon which the program is based. A comparison of a cmp configured machine and a vanilla machine running the exact same hardware would be very useful in this respect, unfortunately no such test seems to have been done. To be fair, I think if you link to a website which states "the subjective findings were strikingly verified with a series of measurements" asking "where is the proof" is an appropriate question. Read more about jitter here: cMP² | CMP / 03JitterĪnd I hope you guys don't turn this thread into a "where is the proof?" debate, take that to the sound stupid forum so people interested in using the software in this topic can talk about it in peace.

I only recommend trying out these programs if you are serious about new ways of getting the very most out of PC as transport because it might take a few hours to figure out these software and because playback on cPlay appears to be limited to cuesheets or single files. I kept pissing off vista when I was toying around with cMP options and stopping explorer.exe. I only fooled around with them for about two hours but it's quite interesting what it tries to do and appears to work decently although I did manage to crash a few times with cMP. I let sourceforge know and they fixed it, but beware of it happening again.

Both are open-source so both are free but when I tried to install cMP, ad-aware identified in it.

cPlay is supposed to be a very low jitter ASIO media player and works with cMP (you can use cMP with any other audio player, see Chapter 12 of cMP guide in website linked below). CMP is supposed to buffer all the music in RAM so that it has less jitter.
