In your case, you should go into Winamp's preferences and do not hit the "select All" button. You should check what you want Winamp to play and uncheck what you want Real to play. I guess they're both the same in that they both want to play everything, but Winamp has that Select All button, and you don't want that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jardata Mail Services" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 2:51 AM Subject: Winamp 5.05 VS Real Player 10+
Hello List! Recently I downloaded and installed the new Winamp 5.05 Player, following a review of the program by Dave Williams on ACB Radio. I should say that, at the same time, I have the latest Real Player 10player on my system as well. Now, I usually have Real Player play my CD's, MP3 files, Wave Files, and radio stations. Winamp, I discovered, enjoys playing these programs as well. As soon as I installed Winamp, it took over my audio system and plays everything for me, even though I have Real Player set to play most of these types of music. I also have Windows Media Player 9 Series on my system, but it does not work like Winamp. I like Real Player to play things such as Main Menu and other such programs because I can go back and forth easier. I like different programs for different things to be played (Windows Media Player for ACB Radio; Real Player for MP3, Wav, and songs stored on my hard drive). My question to you guys is "How do I keep Winamp from taking over all of my system and playing everything? Even when I open up Real Player and set preferences to play certain files, Winamp ignores this and plays things anyway." I like Winamp because of its radio broadcasting features and "sometimes relative ease of use," but I want it to play what and when I want it to play. Is there a way to make these players behave and play what we tell them to play? I'd like to know how this is done. Thanks again for your help.
