using winamp 3
getting skips on random songs
but i know the file is all good because it doesnt happen all the time

program fault?

 

[babydoll_]

you probably deleted the files, and forgot to remove em from your playlist

 

[Newbie]

oops probably worded it wrong
i mean

its playing the song right
and im singing along really loudly but then it just skips forward like 5 seconds so im totally off and my self esteem is crushed and i give up trying for idol 2

I've been trying to investigate these errors, it occurs in Windows Media Player too, but i know that majority of Music files off P2P clients are all protected and when it plays the same thing occurs as ur problem does, becoz its protected, but im not sure. I was thinking it was a minor software glitch but it couldnt happen to WMP as well as Winamp lol.. so im inclined to say its the file.

 

[Newbie]

hmmm perhaps
but these files played fine on my old comp with an older winamp
maybe i will switch back

but Winamp 3 itself was quite buggy anyways, i think 2.8 is the best.

 

[Newbie]

2.8 it is then!
cheers man

2.91

Blatant plug
I have been a very happy iTunes user for the past few weeks (months?) since it was first released. I have uninstalled Winamp for good, and I only ever use WMP9 for video clips.

Winamp 5 seems good even in early beta stage. alot faster than 3.

i still prefer WMP9 though. nothing beats the WMP9 media library

unless if u have 1 song

Winamp 3.0 experiences drop outs in between songs due to RAM or Virtual RAM...

I think (I assume) that by setting the RAM and CPU usage to REALTIME it should correct the issue. If you have windows XP or 2000, try changing your Virtual RAM and theme settings.

XP may look good, but its themes can lag you.

Depends on your RAM.

 

[fatmuscle]

realtime can kill ur RAM usage.

512 RAM is not enough

Agree, i would never change the priority level of a process, unless i really have closed down every app and wanted just to leave the PC for a conversion and it was extremely important other than that hell no!

Hmmm yes it can, so we're all waiting for Longhorn, which will be vector rendered visual styles, (btw people should start calling it visual styles, rather than themes, because they are two different things)
