Seriously? It's incredibly slow to boot up and behaves really weirdly, also it seems to have drag controls even with a mouse which makes it a jarring experience to use. Immediately got Foobar2000 after using it for a bit.
- anaganisk 6y agoHuh? Im not sure what you're saying, but it behaves like every other player wrt controls and never observed boot delay, it opens as soon as I click it.
- trashburger 6y agoMaybe it's because you're on a high speed SSD. Spinning rust suffers greatly from Windows 10's bloat.
- tw04 6y agoNo offense intended by who in their right mind would boot off spinning rust in 2020? You can get a brand new 240GB SSD for $30 and a 1TB for $90. That’s ignoring the used market where you can get a solid used Intel for $10. If you need more storage buy a spinning disk for bulk storage - even if it’s a laptop, usb-3.1 is faster than the drive.

- dartharva 6y agoMy laptop uses an HDD too, startup times are bearable for me as I've disabled its indexing features (by removing the folders under the "Choose where to look for music" setting). My needs are simple: I just need an MP3 track to play when I double-click on it, I have no intention to bother setting up a dedicated media system in the age of Spotify. Groove does the job, and it even shows a nice, minimalist and no-frills UI while at it.
