Cache converted tracks? #136

Open msdos opened 2 years ago

msdos commented 2 years ago

I have a MZ-NE410 that for some tracks it's dropping the device connection randomly. Everytime I try to send the track again it converts my tracks everytime.

Is is possible to cache converted tracks somehow so when retrying it would just send the tracks or both actions need to be done sequentially? This cache folder could be another option in settings.

This seems like an interesting option to add. More curious about dropping connection, that isn't something I have experienced - What operating system/spec computer are you using? What format tracks, how many tracks?

I've traced down the cause: bad batteries. Using good quality AA batteries solved the drop connection problem (although I still think caching already converted tracks as opt-in would be a nice addition nonetheless, specially if you're creating various different playlists that repeat songs).

It uses the operating system's temporary folder, so it should be possible to cache as an opt-in, but it would most likely get cleared at the next reboot. Will look at adding a setting in so it doesn't delete the converted files! Glad that the batteries were an easy fix.
