Winamp Q.

**mendhak** · Jan 31st, 2003, 06:13 AM

Open up Winamp.
Play a song
while it's playing, in the equalizer window, click:
PRESETS > LOAD > Preset...

A window pops up with a particular preset highlited. Pick a preset other than the highlited one, and click "LOAD"

Now, you're back in the winamp window. Go to the next song.
The equalizer window goes back to the way it was before you loaded!

Tell me how I can get it such that any setting I make in the equalizer window remains until the next time I change the settings.

Use my WinAmp....it doesn't change...

do you have WinAmp 3...

**mendhak** · Jan 31st, 2003, 12:39 PM

2.78c!

**NoteMe** · Jan 31st, 2003, 12:51 PM

Maybe an upgrade should do it...but WinAmp 3 takes more resources.........

**Sastraxi** · Jan 31st, 2003, 01:42 PM

Latest "classic" version is 2.81. Maybe you should download that, and check the changelogs to see if it's been fixed.

**NoteMe** · Jan 31st, 2003, 01:57 PM

What do you meen by classic versioan...why not just download V.3

**Sastraxi** · Jan 31st, 2003, 02:42 PM

v.3 is welll...

crap.

**NoteMe** · Jan 31st, 2003, 09:13 PM

Well...you are worng...I have no English or Norwegian words to tell you how wrong you are...

**VisionIT** · Feb 1st, 2003, 05:27 AM

I agree with Sastraxi

V.3 is crap. I downloaded it yesterday along with a few nice skins, and uninstalled it 2day. Buggy and it crashes on XP Pro.

They need to get their act together. Even when you sign up, they give you a bl**dy stupid password, which you can't change. It says in the confirmation e-mail you can change it by clicking this link... and it just takes you back to the signup page again!

Oh well... byebye WinAMP.

Regards,

Paul.

What?? SIgnup??? Crash??? Do you have to sign up for downloading WinAmp??? My WinApm have never crashed. But that is only me on my 3 computers. But I don't have XP on any of them....and I never will...

**VisionIT** · Feb 1st, 2003, 05:35 AM

You don't have to signup to download WinAMP, but you're supposed to get lots of extra's if you do.

You can't change the passwords, and it crashes every few minutes in XP. Nice IDE but you need classy code behind it so it functions properly. Something to think about WinAMP designers.

Regards,

Paul.

I heard rumours about it being the same guys that started Netscape or Mozilla or something that startet up WinAmp....so I suppose they know what they are doing....but maybe they forgot to check with XP....

**siyan** · Feb 1st, 2003, 04:12 PM

Mendhak you probably have the autoload set with a different default

Winamp 3 is alright...nice skins but i agree its a tad bloated. and the new playlisting system is bad...

**Zaei** · Feb 1st, 2003, 04:28 PM

3 is crap.

**NoteMe** · Feb 1st, 2003, 05:29 PM

No is not crap...it's nice and firm...like a girl should be....

...you should come home and see a movie with me using WinAmp3 somtime....

Sorry, 3 is crap.

**NoteMe** · Feb 1st, 2003, 08:53 PM

I understand that I can never convince you about 3 being not crap...but I'm drunk now, so I'm letting you go...but 3 is perfect for my comp....

Unfortunately... you're right.

It has the basis of a very good program, but has a few to many bugs for my liking! Sorry Nullsoft.

Paul.

**NoteMe** · Feb 2nd, 2003, 03:03 PM

Wasnt this trhead started because of a bug in V2.78c....V3 doesn' have the same bug....

**mendhak** · Feb 5th, 2003, 09:46 AM

V3 is crap, which is why I haven't downloaded it.

(noteme, are you getting a message here?

)

I'll try it out with 2.81, thx.

I prefer the classic versions because they've got more of the 'keyboard' control thing. AFAIK, you can't use the ever so useful "j" jump to file shortcut in v3, can you?

**NoteMe** · Feb 5th, 2003, 09:58 AM

AFAIK???? J jump thingy I have no idea what you are talking about...winamp and all the other meda player thingies is just running in the background 24/7...

Thats exactly the point. It should play my mp3s(or Shoutcast streams), and not take up all of my resources to look pretty. I dont want to look at the thing, and my computer is old enough that I DO need to worry about how much memory this program or that is using.

**mendhak** · Feb 6th, 2003, 12:19 AM

Ditto. I'm listening to the music, I don't want to look at the player.

AFAIK = As Far As I Know.

That is pretty much what I'm doing every day...

Then why use a bloated, buggy player that uses huge amounts of resources?

That was a joke, if you didn't understand that. I'm just always downøoading the newest version. I'm a simple peroson. Don't carre that much. My PC never uses up all of it's resources anyway...
