I have an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 notebook (CPU Pentium Mobile 1.8Ghz, 2x512MB DDR266, 80GB internal and 160GB WD Elemens USB hard drive, Creative Audigy 2ZS PCMCIA optical to external DAC), and I thought I could use it as a music source with my audio rig. I've cleanly installed Windows Media (2002 version), newest drivers, and Mediamonkey+asio dll plug-in. The problem is, that even with the standart player skin music sometimes skips when I change viewed windows, and for the reason I don't understand, it skips couple of seconds of every song at the end. I thought it could be something with soundcard, but integrated Yamaha XG works even worse. I'm not sure why it happens. Which other audio player works well with asio support, and has similar, convenient library system as Mediamonkey, but is less hungry for hardware?
And one other question. I really like convenience of windows media center as a player, but it doesn't support flac tagging and albums information as MediaMonkey - when it shows it well, WMCenter doesn't show album art, and almost all of albums seem as Unknown album. I've installed Illiminable Ogg Directshow Filter and WMP Tag Support Extender. Are there any better plug-ins for WMC?
