music stops when doing a search

[billyo]

i'm not sure if this is has been this way, but i don't remember having this problem, i loaded the new version( 4.22) on my mini laptop, and when i tried to search for a song while a music is playing, as soon as i type in even just the first letter of a song,or just clicking the mouse, the music stops, so i tried my other pc and also did the same way..

Stopped or just stuttered and came back?
I tried this on both of my test computers with both 4.21 and 4.22 and didi not have anything stop.
It may well depend on how big alist you have showing in Microstudio. Mine both are listing my KMA files and have almost 19,000 in the list with no problem.

it stopped completely,once it stops it goes back to the beginning, it doesn't continue, i have about 37k on my pc and 4k ( using my old ext. hhd ) on my mini i thought it was just happening on my mini, but it did the same on my pc, i have never used my mini to run ms i have it just for back-up and just now used it to play around with my 3 yrs. old daughter. i just tried it again, and also it stops when i pressed on the space bar.i removed 4.22 and went back to 4.20 and it does the same thing.

What processor TYPE and SPEED does your MINI have and how much RAM?

Also, what type of VIDEO graphics are built on the motherboard (Manufacturer and version number of the graphics card/feature)?

You are pushing the limits of how much Microstudio will do here with the large file you have. You may want to consider using Hoster Lite for your home shows with that many songs.

all my kma files are on an ext. drive on both , i don't know if that makes any diff.i just thought you might want to know.

As I said with 37,000 you are pushing the limit of Microstudio. Even with my 18,000 it takes a while for the list to come up and if I do a search it takes half a minute to list them.

i understand the waiting time, but why would stop when i'm searching for a song and tapping the space bar ?, i had this ext. drive plugged in on my pc for a while now and i don't recall having this problem, it's only when i did the upgrade that this started happening, but anway i will try the other drive i have with less files, see it will solve the problem..i have the specs on the other post, would you mind telling me if it's good enough to run Hoster Lite ?..thanks for you help..

Bexause it is a short cut for Skip. This is exactly what the manual says about it:
" Skip (or Spacebar key) stops the current song and plays the next song, or stops if the last song was playing"

In other words it is designed that way.

ok i do understand that space bar is a short cut for skip/stop, but how would you search for a song if you typed in 2 words of the song title,while a song is playing.. you have to tap the space bar to be able to get the 2nd word in..,..i guess my solution would be to search for all the songs first and add them to the playlist...but anyway..i could lived with what i got, not a big deal..thanks for your help..

Don't be playing a song when you search with more than one word.
Mixrostudio is not a show program.
