Cog and Snow Leopard

r1922 seems to work fine.  Playing FLAC files off my AFP share, fully gapless as usual.

You rock, vspader!

A recent upgrade from 8GB of RAM for my MBP has left a few odd things... and one seems to be Cog going _insane_, and playing files with 100%+ (dual core, I have seen it peak at 174% for Cog) CPU use.  I myself am a developer, so if there's anything I can do to help zero-in on the issue, I am all ears.  Cog is very much my de-facto player, and has been since I jumped to Mac dev a year or so ago.  At this point, I am without audio while working, as 100% CPU isn't really useful

I forgot to mention... I left this in the SL thread because that's where I am, and I can't think of a better 'reason' for the CPU use, seeing as how Cog up until moving to SL a week or so ago was great.  The combo of SL + 8GB is all that's changed.

I took a sample when it's acting up, and another when it's not, and to be honest... there's just nothing odd about either.  The 'higher CPU' sample has fewer semaphore calls, but that seems fine, it's getting less 'clean timeslices', as the CPU is going nuts... so in essence, it's running at a 'lower framerate'.  Nothing else is on the radar, etc... it just looks like 2 very slightly different samples of the same app.  I thought I'd find it stuck on something, or hitting some odd call, but thus far, no.  I will say, it seems like post-VMWare this is an issue, and clean-boot, before using VMWare, it's fine.  VMWare on SL may be leaving my drivers in unhappy moods.  Should I still pass these samples on, or just wait to see if things clear with OS/VMWare updates?

I'm going to try and come up with a clean repro case... even if it relates to other apps... as Cog has a few times now been the only app 'acting up'.  Might be nothing, but I am sure you'd like to see anyway.  Thus far, it's hard to say what's going on.  BUT, Just now it happened, and I closed Cog (it was 190% CPU), and decided to go back and sample it.  Upon reloading, playing the exact same song (just to be safe), it's acting great, as it should.  This is gonna be fun

Downloaded and ran r1933 in SL on a Mac Pro (Quad duocore 2.66 GHz, 3GB RAM). Worked with SHN and FLAC files. Using activity monitor the CPU usage stayed at about 1.0%.

Most importantly - it didn't prompt for Rosetta installation (32 bit mode) which is why I decided to finally ditch MacAMP, which was sad. I really really liked MacAMP.

Thanks for a nice app. Please, if you get the chance you might say something on your dev or download page about being "reasonably snow leopard compatible".

I'll keep an eye on it and let you know if anything weird happens. No news is good news

I don't have those kind of problems with the media keys.. they're working fine for me.

maybe its because i've deleted itunes (the first thing you should do after installing cog!)

Also I need iTunes for syncing my iPhones and the iPods. (Using them at work)

Same problem also happens if you have Cog AND Quicktime open.
