You may have gone through some stressful and exhausting periods lately when arranging everything for nice and quiet x-mas time, trying to find just the right presents for your friends and family and so on. Now you probably want to rest a little bit and enjoy the days off as much as possible. You might appreciate some kind of stimulant that would help you loosen the tension and concentration accumulated in your mind and body..

NapSounds.com is a very simple website aimed at providing a good content rather than an amazing design. What you can get here for free are daily updated power-nap sounds that are able to help you enjoy a few-minute rest every day to "recharge your batteries" in a short time. Power-nap is actually a really short rest during your day which - if performed the right way - can equal up to several hours of sleep. Power-nap sound containing varied sound effects and melodies picked for this purpose is the thing that should help you enjoy your short rest the right way.

These power-naps also contain special binaural beats, sounds split into 2 stereo channels and then merged by human brain again, though you need stereo headphones to make use of them. Besides daily updated preset naps you're also allowed to compose your own nap according to your priorities. Just note that due to the nature of these sound tracks, you should only listen to them when you're not doing any activity (like driving a car) and avoid listening to it if you suffer from epilepsy or are pregnant.

    Why not make use of the mplayer.conf?

    Huh, I have never even seen this “font cache” pane; videos play at once for me, using VLC & XP SP3.

      Mike, in theory this should have only been displayed once to you, at the very first video that you played with VLC. The time this window is displayed depends largely on the number of fonts in your font directory.

        huh, I lucked out for a change?? Amazing!!
        Apparently VLC keeps this info through version updates, but I didn’t see this message after a fresh OS install about 8 weeks ago, & a new VLC.

    @Kishore, I’ll try your tips, but does this mean it will no longer show subtitles either?
    I do use subtitles, but the fontcache dialog box pops up (almost) everytime I play a file.

    Could this be related to the fonts I have installed? Or if I add/remove fonts to my system?

    I’ll try to do a fresh install also, if your tips does no work. I’ll post back here later…

    /thanks

    Try running LC with administrator privileges. That seemed to fix it for me

    I am using SMplayer 0.8.6 (64-bit) (Portable Edition) on Windows 7 x64. Even with the -nofontconfig parameter in place SMplayer still scans the fonts. Also, I have enabled normal subtitles and it is still scanning fonts before playing a video. Also, it does this every time the player opens a video after a system restart (only the fist video played).

    Does that mean that only instrumental versions of songs will be available for non-paying users?
