I've confirmed a slow memory leak over time in Cog 0.07, over the space of a week constantly shuffle playing with 2000 songs in the playlist. When I restarted Cog, I got about 1.5G of free memory back as measured by MenuMeters.

I can do any detailed analysis you like, just let me know what you want to do. Other than that, this is mostly an FYI. Happy hacking! smile

I was unable to glean more than bits and drabs from an admittedly quick scan of the forum, so I'm posting this here in search of an answer and so search engines can find this answer too.

Which version of Cog should we be using?

As I understand there are two versions:

  0.07
  0.08

three feeds per version:

  Stable
  Unstable
  Nightly

and two OSes which have compatibility issues:

  10.4.X
  10.5.X

We can't use 0.07 with 10.5, and shouldn't use 0.08 with 10.4.

Do I have this right? If not, what did I miss or get wrong? Thanks in advance. smile

Unfortunately for me, the closed-ness of the iPhone is the single biggest reason I bought a Treo.

Give it a year or two though. Who knows?

Hi all. Nice work on Cog, it's become my main Mac music player.

As to shuffle in Cog 0.07 (r635) I see how broken it is because I'm someone who plays music 24/7. I have almost 2000 songs in the playlist, and yet shuffle mode winds up playing a fraction of it.

There's a couple of extra features that would be nice, I'll drop the ideas here. If I get some time maybe I'll download the source and try my hand at Xcode (I'm a software developer, I've just never had the pleasure/displeasure/whatever of using Xcode before).

One thing would be a "reset shuffle" button, making Cog reshuffle the entire playlist.

Another really useful feature would be to be able to -see- the shuffling it does. Maybe a "sort by play order"? Audion used to allow this in their playlist (though it was kind of broken) and I found it extremely useful to re-randomize the list and then see how it randomized the list.

If you are delving into plugins, being able to affect the shuffle order by plugin (assuming you can read genre information from the plugin) would be awesome.

Again, thanks for some great open source work.
