What if (given enough ram) two ramdisks were created.... then from a loaded playlist the top-most track would be loaded to Ramdisk1.....then moved to Ramdisk2 for playback.
Then the next track from the playlist was loaded to Ramdisk1 whilst the previous track in Ramdisk2 was playing....auto-consume Ramdisk2...
Rinse and repeat..?
Initial start-up would be delayed as the files are loaded and moved but after that it would be seamless...
??  Can certainly try that, but once it's RAM, latency is at it's lowest, there's no point having a second RAM disk.
Idea is to not play music while we're copying music from SSD/HDD/NAS to RAM disk.. And only start playback when all the files are copied to RAM. This should in theory give the best results (or not).. Time will tell.
