Damnit! winamp! why must thou crash!

Post by Timbob »

So
I changed some settings in winamp, and it wouldn't start anymore
tried to undo it. didn't work. Installed a new version, made a backup of the old.

then tried to copy back all the old settings one by one.
over the time being, i acquired quite an amount of plugins and visual thingies. so i was happy with my personal winamp.

then, by a stroke of sheer stupidity, i deleted the backup-ed plugin folder.

now winamp is all... new and stuff. with no gap-killer and no ogg playing plugins.

it's teh crap!



Winamp is still way way WAY better then iTunes tho.

i've yet to find a mac music player that i like half as much as winamp. then again when i'm in my bedroom, my pc is generally in charge of the music playing duties, as it's connected to the stereo... and i can control winamp via a web interface plugin from my mac laptop in bed 8)

Unless you plug the wires directly into your skull, at the end of the chain is a set of speakers pumping back-and-forth turning ANY signal into analogue waves..."
