The ultimate online jazz community
I loveYouTube, but you have to face it, specific genre sites can be much better. If you want music Imeem may be much better, if you want comedy then go to specific comedy sites like Ebaumsworld and such. Similarly, if you want jazz, go to a genre site like My Jazz Network.
My Jazz Network is basically a very high quality content on demand site, focused on jazz alone. You can listen to anything you like, or listen in on live radios, compilations, you can even buy anything you like in the store.
If you are a jazz addict or someone venturing into this “scary†area of music, I can recommend this site. Beautifully done, you will have access to a huge array of talented artists. I found the sound quality of some radios under par, but with gems like Miles Davis, you’ll soon forget this.
Update: The My Jazz Network website is no longer available. That does not mean that the network itself is not there anymore, only in another form. It seems that the network has made the decision to move to Facebook, create a company page there and run the show from the Facebook social networking site instead.
The page seems to receive regular updates with news related to Jazz in general. This sometimes includes music videos found on YouTube, music albums that have been released, Jazz sessions, websites of interest and more.

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.
yes, yes, i have the same problem. sometimes, VLC crashes when it is playing .mov file.
Error:
Buidling font Cache pop-up
Solution:
Open VLC player.
On Menu Bar:
Tools
Preferences
(at bottom – left side)
Show settings — ALL
Open: Video
Click: Subtitles/OSD (This is now highlited, not opened)
Text rendering module – change this to “Dummy font renderer function”
Save
Exit
Re-open – done.
Progam will no longer look outside self for fonts

Great tip, thanks a lot Kishore.
@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

@ Javier, The trick i posted will show up subtitles too. If not,
@ Javier, The trick i posted will show up subtitles too. If not,Dont worry, VLC is currently sorting out this issue and the next version will be out soon.
No probs @ Martin !! Its my pleasure
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?
