solved my winamp3 problems

[tkdkid]

By going back to 2.8!! j/k...

Actually I've been frustrated like many have with how slow winamp responds to everything. I've noticed that it's now much better after I double click the titlebar and put it in 'mini' mode instead of just minimizing it to the system tray. Then I set it to always be on top and dock it to the top of my screen. I actually prefer it being always displayed now that I've gotten used to it.

still blows compared to 2.8

I went back to 2.18.... 3 responds too slow..... like you said.

I hate it.

 

[gistech1978]

3 sucks
i use 2.

 

[aswedc]

Yeah 3 is even slower than Windows Media Player

Try foobar2000?

With the right skin, it's the best player I've used to date.

You guys are funny. Yeah...I know it's slow...that's why I'm posting about how to make it faster...

Although I appreciate the 4 responses that just restate that winamp3 is slow...really..I do...thanks you guys.

Anyway, everything except startup happens instantly for me now so I'm happy.

Can anyone add songs to a playlist without the fvker crashing?

I use winamp3 all the time... just easier for me I guess.

 

[tkdkid]

Hmmm..it's never crashed on me.

I just added a directory to my playlist today...no problems. I'm using version 3.0c.

I also play winamp 6-9 hours a day here at work (software dev).

Dummy, that's one of advanced features.




BTW, the Null soft guys said that its slow because the computers are slow (meaning they probably wont fix the slowness, using the example of how slow 2.x ran on 486's).

I'm using it at home right now, but i went back to 2.9 at work. As soon as girder has better interaction with 2.x, I'll retreat to it.

If i'm such a dummy, how come i can at least complete a full sentence 🙂

Try opening up windows explorer while winamp is playing a song, right click on the file, and hit enqueue in winamp. Lemme know if it crashes.

It does EVERYTIME for me 🙁

Im usin an Athlon 2400+ w/512 PC2100 so i know it aint the slowness of my rig.

2.9 is very nice and does video, too. 🙂

 

[KeyserSoze]

I LOVE WinAmp 2.9. (Released very recently.)

The Library is a NICE feature, with Internet Radio/TV streams listed there. And it has a video player in it, but surprising it is not bloated.

I reccomend checking it out if your a 2.8/ANTI 3.0 Fan like me.

2.9 is what 3.0 should've been. 🙂

Where can you get 2.8?
