Guys,
I've removed all of the mp3's from the my music thing and it takes about 20 seconds to
load up
completely, I counted. Maybe I'm counting too fast, but I know for a fact that WinAmp
loads up
much faster. Is this true for everyone's machine or is it just me. I am running Win98
with
2partitions one for programs and stuff and one for music, my documents stuff like
that. Both of
the partitions are on FAT32. My computer is an eMachine eOne (it looks like an iMac).
Mark, what does BTW mean, yeah I go to UNC. Did you happen to major in computer
science and now
are working for freeamp? Is the money good since FreeAmp is an OpenSource thing? Or
are you
doing this for a hobby? Also I'm new to opensource, when I download the source to
study from
it, I get mightily confused, is their anything like a tutorial or anything describing
the
program like an 'SDK' or anything? I mean there are so many files.
