Shigeru,
I really can't help you with any other aspect of your problem, but I
think I can address the quality of your sound when using Winamp,
because I ran into this problem a couple of nights ago.
Make sure that you have the TR driver to load only when TR is
running. Also make sure that in your sound card settings that you
have your sound card as your default play and record devices.
I ran across this problem when I was using total recorder to edit an
mp3 file, and at the same time using Winamp to playback the file. I
of course have Winamp set as my default program for playing mp3
files. Anyway, also make sure you don't have TR running while also
running Winamp.
I thought your description of the resulting sound was quite accurate.
For a time I thought I would need a bit of help with that one too,
until I realized just what I was doing, and considering that I had
never encountered that problem before.
Take care,
Larry
