You are right on that last point. I got a little carried away, so the
arguments drifted off-topic. This tends to happen when you type almost as
quickly as you think. You never bother to step back and proofread, let
alone do a consistency or a 'reality check'.
The point I was trying to make was that in Windows XP (as in predecessors,
but only worse), many processes struggle for resources becausevarious
operations are programmed and invoked excessively. As an outcome, I often
find it unresponsive, especially in the absence of a decent chunk of RAM and
a strong, recently-purchased PC. Sound latency and interferences are
sometimes a result of this struggle for resources.
Consider yourself lucky if all your desktops and laptops are fairly modern.
I very much enjoy using AmaroK for all my music needs and I also did some
audio editing in the past. Winamp, which I have used since I was 15, seems
to be on par with XMMS, but AmaroK seems more like the equivalent of iTunes
and Media Player. On the contrary, it's open.
Best wishes,
Roy
PS - I don't wear glasses. I'm actually in excellent shape.
