Those numbers only look good in comparison.

I don't see you publishing something which further reduces the memory footprint?

Given the project is open source, have at it! See if you can help improve it instead of complaining. This is a significant improvement and a cool project!

I'm not complaining and it is a cool project (from what I can tell). But I think it's fair to say 200 MB memory usage is a lot without providing source code as a proof. Just by feel when you recall what were computers capable of when they did not have 100s of MB to spare.

		I remember when I was scrounging memory sticks to get to 512 mb for my windows xp setup. And I was able to play Unreal: Return to Na Pali[0] on that. [0] https://unreal.fandom.com/wiki/Unreal_Mission_Pack:_Return_t...

I run actual Winamp for my music streaming, and windows task manager claims it's using 4.1 MB.

Even that seems pretty high, but whatever, but given y'all are spending hundreds of mbs, I think I'm ok. Yes, spotify has features my subscription music service doesn't have... but the one I use lets me stream with Winamp.
