Do you prioritize your media player's process?

[EyeMWing]

Just wondering if I'm wierd - I put Winamp at Realtime priority. I can't *STAND* to have my music skip during CPU intensive operations - PAR, RAR, etc.

 

[luckysnafu]

What CPU do you have that can't handle playing music??? Or are you also doing other CPU intensive things?

 

[LeiZaK]

no, and my music doesn't skip

 

[Lonyo]

Your computer sucks 😛
I have an Athlon XP and my computer doesn't skip during anything, and priority hasn't been changed. (Winamp 2.81, doesn't skip during gaming, RARing or anything else-ing)

I use the old winamp 2.91. Works great, does everything I need it for. Never was interested in any of the later versions.

That's what you get for upgrading past 2.x

 

[Leper Messiah]

The new Winamp is what makes your music skip, not the priority. Use a different version or a different player.

 

[yhelothar]

task manager.. then processes..
right click the WMP process and set priority to realtime

No

 

[neutralizer]

No, but occasionally maybe once a week, the music skips in WMP10, but it happens quite often on video for me.

 

[Vertimus]

You know, a Pentium II is enough to play most MP3s...

 

[wfbberzerker]

for me, it only skips when doing things like defragging or installing programs.

 

[EvanGn]

You should put it on High because it won't skip anymore.

 

[Saint Nick]

my music skips on my backup computer that im on back at home :laugh:

intel celeron 400mhz
320mb pc100 ram :laugh:

its a nice PC though, runs what i need to do for now, internet and music. my SFF PC parts are coming intoday 😀 fedex was slow this time.

 

[eLiu]

nah i dont have any problems...5.08 here.

my cpu is occupied by MATLAB 90% of the time so I'd say my athlon has a lot of other things to think about besides winamp
