Some tests we have done indicates that Windows XP almost requires 256MB RAM by itself.
If you use the Add CD Track, this reads the CD Track into the virtual memory, thus requiring between 30MB-60MB per song. Currently, we allow up to 4 CD Tracks to be buffered (it won't let you add a 5th until one of the other 4 has played). Thus, at least 512MB of RAM is recommended. If you are running less, you probably are seeing the lockup and display freeze as a result of this. We do this so you have full power to move it, skip it, delete it just as if it were from the hard drive. However, when it plays, or your shut down Hoster or Windows, they are auto-deleted so you can't be accused of illegally importing songs that you don't own. You can only play them for the singer, who brought their own disc.
How much RAM do each of you have?
