DFX won't work while Playing CDs but will work while playing MP3s.. Why?

[Nafion1]

Can anyone please help me understand why I can't get DFX to work in winamp when I'm playing a CD but I will work when I'm playing a MP3?

if anyone could help me with this, I'd appreciate it.

I'm running W2K with 256MB Ram and a phillips sound card on a 900 Mhz AMD


Thanks

simple really, since the CD-rom drive is sending data the computer can not buffer the .wav file because DFX and Winamp are really MP3 enhancers. even with out DFZ put a CD in and you CAN NOT change the EQ...well you can but it has no effect. youd need like a plug in for the windows CD player....is it out there? prolly.

jeez just get a bigger HDD and rip the CD to the HDD and either burn the MP3's as back ups or leave them on the HDD.
