GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 148820
Rhythmbox "double-buffering" could make smoother transition
Last modified: 2006-01-09 22:58:06 UTC
Perhaps Rhythmbox could "double-buffer" all songs and radio stations. By this I mean, checking out the next file/radio station and doing any appropriate buffering before the current song ends (or current station stops playing). I wouldn't mind continuing to hear the current radio station while the next radio station buffers. Then when the next station or song is buffered enough, it can play (perhaps with crossfading -- see bug 130426). If there are any problems, there's no need to stop playing the current song or station.
Marking all buffering-related bugs as duplicates of #172389, even though they don't all request the same behaviour. Any attempt at fixing these problems will have to address them all. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 172389 ***
