When will we see 64bit MM5

Post by Weatherman »

Just wondering why a new version of MM is 32bit?

Because not all of our libraries (or 3rd party we're using) have 64bit support.

To make it clear -- there will be a 64bit version, but since it isn't trivial, we decided to focus on the 32bit version atm and bring the 64bit version sometimes later.

is there really much benefit in native 64-bit binaries??

It's not like MM needs the extra RAM :roll:

Hi,
Better optimization when there is free resources available, possible db query lower lag, faster access to cached data, ...

64bit MM (for Windows)

Post by Paul@Rarey.us »

Are there plans for, or some thinking on a 64bit MM?
This may have been discussed or answered in another board/thread. Though I didn't find anything with search/advanced search.

Thanks in advance!

Search using 64*bit

According to their (co)Owner there is a plan to migrate.

Where they do respond respectfully on this issue, they say that there would be minimal gains unless you had more than 2 million tracks.

It does impact community development of MM5 addons somewhat.
  • the Developer needs to confine themselves to old 32bit tool sets and library modules
  • any external application that tries to attach to the MM5 applications needs to a 32 bit application
  • MM publish only a 32bit version their custom sql collation .dll, which impacts applications which just want to access the MM database
Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.

@Barry4679
Many thanks for the better search string :D and thread reference. I do understand the implications to 32bit add-ons, "calling clients" & the MM SQL dll. Not to discount WinAmp at the heart of MM which is 32bit-only as well.

I also found this thread x64 Support. Posted Nov/2010, last comment/reply was July/2016.

I am rather saddened such a good product seems to have locked-in obsolescence....

Cheers
