Hey,

I've been noticing a new behavior in 9a which I think might be a bug. I know that the plans w/ 9a were to keep the drives spun up if it has to access them too frequently, but it seems that my empeg constantly has the drives spun up. I've even tried leaving it on a 128kb playlist (which should technically cache 3-4 minutes of per song, right?) but didn't see the drives spinning down..

Here's what I think might be happening:
empeg starts playing and initially spins the drives down. I fast forward to the next track, empeg spins the drives up and remembers that it had to spin them up, so leaves them up...

However, the frequent access is due to me changing tracks, not out of necessity...

Any comments?
