Oh, that's cool. The installer, with all the new stuff included, is bigger than my working directory, which includes all the plugins I use on a regular basis, and some that I don't. Very efficient of them over there at AOL... BTW, for anyone who cares, my entire Winamp directory is a mere 4.1 MB, and it does everything I need. -- -- Patrick Perdue (MCP, CNA) KE4DYI Greensboro, NC website: http://www.pdaudio.net home: +1(336)698-4417 Mobile phone and SMS: +1(336)509-5583 e-mail and .net messenger: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> aim: noaptiva This message originally sent in reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Friday, October 12, 2007 at 12:53 AM EST.

Once I heard of those wav issues I > was pretty much turned off to the later versions of Winamp. Semi-long post ahead! There are workarounds for all this. If you want wav file type to show up in the open dialogue of the main window and playlist for newer versions of winamp (something that should not be necessary in the first place), here are two possible methods of making this happen: 1. Go to options, plugins, input. Select "Nullsoft Waveform Decoder vX.X", and press "configure". Here, you will find a list of file types to associate with the wav input plugin, as well as other options pertaining to dithering, bit depth/sample rate conversion, and such. Take care to make sure that only the following extensions are selected in this list: wav, voc, au, snd, aif, aiff Selecting a combination that I haven't determined after this point usually breaks it, and I have no idea why. It probably won't matter so much as these are generally quite obscure file types, and if you really need to play them that badly, then you are strange. 2. If the first method doesn't work, try this one: Open winamp.ini found in either your winamp main directory or in .x:\documents and settings\application data\winamp if you were boring and configured it that way. Look for a line starting with "extlist". You will see a list of all registered, but not necessarily all associated extensions, not necessarily in order. Here is mine as an example, although yours will surely differ, but this is known to work for me with newer versions of winamp: extlist=AC3:VOB:CDA:MPG:MPEG:M2V:AVI:ASF:WMV:mod:mdz:nst:stm:stz:s3m:s3z:it:itz:xm:xmz:mtm:ult:669:far:amf:okt:ptm:MP3:MP2:MP1:m3u:pls:ogg:mid:au:aif:aiff:ra:ram:wav Let me again state how stupid this is, and show my general annoyance that this is necessary at all in some cases. As with many things, I am generally annoyed. 'What this time?' Well, I am generally annoyed at anything past about Winamp 5.08 or so for various reasons, therefore, I am using a slimmed-down hybrid of winamps with version 2.80 at it's core, using some old and new plugins. It's very stable. I've been running FX Radio continuously now on three copies of these Winamp 2.80/5.x/other hybrids now for 51 days (up to 65 so far) without a single crash or anything bad happening. It only died after 65 days due to prolonged power failure thanks to a storm in August. Mind you, for broadcasting, I am using a newer one, version 5.2 to be exact, just because it has that cool global hotkeys thingy. I did try taking the global hotkey plugin and sticking it in an older version of winamp, but they were too clever for that, and only allowed it to work with versions 5.0 and up. I find that older versions of Winamp are far more snappy and generally responsive about things, and am still looking for Winamp alternatives. The best option right now is probably Foobar2000, but there are plenty of things that annoy me about this one, which I don't think I'll bother getting into at the moment. Tip: If you don't use it, uninstall or disable the Winamp library. It will make loading time much faster. By default, the Winamp library hangs out in the background and looks at all the music, streams, etc. that you've played, and keeps a nice index of them. So, the more media you play, the bigger the database gets, and the longer it takes to launch Winamp, thus, allowing it to get fat and giving it the opportunity to apologize for it later... unless you either uninstall the Winamp library, or configure it not to cache all that stuff behind you. God, I hope all this crap has been informative and/or useful to at least someone, as all this info has been obtained purely from experience and nothing else. Have a good slushy day. -- -- Patrick Perdue (MCP, CNA) KE4DYI Greensboro, NC website: http://www.pdaudio.net home: +1(336)698-4417 Mobile phone and SMS: +1(336)509-5583 e-mail and .net messenger: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> aim: noaptiva This message originally sent in reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Friday, October 12, 2007 at 12:19 AM EST.

This is why I never upgraded past 5.08.

Hi all. Winamp 5.5 is out. New installers and such. Optional toolbars as well as other things. a bad thing is that when you play mod files and xm files well at least on my system the system will crash when you exit. I resolved this by using the bass module plugin emulator. But winamp has upgraded its engines and crashes if I try to use that plugin. So I can't use it, wa! Luckily though all the other plugins work fine. and there is all these new things. Unless you care to there are optional things like winamp toolbar and winamp remote.
