The original Nullsoft Winamp MP3 decoder has a option called "Full file buffering". This option loads the entire MP3 into memory rather than reading it from disc during playback. This completely eliminates skipping as well as allowing MP3s to be deleted while they are still playing back... a very useful function for cleaning up large MP3 collections.

I was wondering if there is any way to achieve a similar buffer with the MAD winamp input plug. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
