1 How can have more than one media player? at same time (gotdamn that Singleton Pattern)
the gayness of 8.0 has made this impossible,

I have winamp, windows media player, quicktime, and real player installed right now...

they should work fine together

You can always go to Folder Options, choose the file type, and make a new item like "launch with WiMP" or "Launch with Winamp" so when you right-click it will show something

Or I'm sure you could easily make some sort of program that it tries to open MP3 files with, and instead of playing them your program could tell the program of your choice to play the file

Go to start > run and type mplayer2, I THINK this brings up Windows Media Player 6.4, at least it does in Win2k. Yes I have WiMP 7 installed and I can still access 6.4

I hated it SO much on my old computer, on this one it's pretty nice actually

But when you have an old computer, WOW, it's sooooo slow

It just has too much junk in it. All i need it for is videos, and so all that other stuff just gets in the way.

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Mar 17th, 2002, 10:31 AM

for video i use intervideo windvd, for music winamp, the only thing i use WMP for is .WMA files

It works on my XP, but for some reason I can't actually find mplayer2 on my system. Where is it?

Windows 98 search was the best
Windows XP search is the worst

try mplayer2.*

**filburt1** · Mar 17th, 2002, 09:01 PM

Nope, I even tried mplayer2.exe and nothing

**filburt1** · Mar 17th, 2002, 09:02 PM

Is there a way to search in a console ("command prompt"?)
