Bonjour! Thank you for this excellent soundboard. I have two questions:

1) Loading long tracks (I have countless 1-hour-long ambience tracks) really kills my system memory and it takes a LONG time to load a category of, say, 20 tracks. Is there some way to lighten the load for my device and speed up load times?

2) The ability to play directly from youtube is incredibly powerful. I found some bugs: when 'adding' a youtube track to my category, I like selecting 'audio only' and setting the volume to 0.6. However, when playing that track: 1) the video will still pop up; 2) the volume slider in the left panel will set itself to max volume (100) and refuses my attempts to lower the volume.

Anything you could look into? Would love to hear from you!

Hello, thank you for the feedback :)
1) I don't think you can do anything currently for faster load times except having  your sound files on an ssd. But it won't resolve the burden on your memory.
I experimented with streaming the files from the disk rather than loading them fully. But it was not reactive enough for me and was a bit worse performance wise. Still, in your case it could be a better solution. I had not the very long sounds in mind. I'll try in a future version to give an option for the user to set it to full file load or streaming (either setting it by track or for all tracks). But It won't be for the very next release.
2) I'll check that, thank you for reporting.

2) It has been fixed in the last version released.  The audio only check box is now correctly working and the volume is now correctly handled.
