Subject: Re: anti-skip buffer question

Re: anti-skip buffer question

can you (or someone) be more specific?

do i understand correctly: longer buffer time means less battery
consumption because the disk doesn't have to spin up as often?

if that's true, my question remains... in what cases would someone want
less than the maximum buffer time?

thanks,
bryce
