starts songs twice

[Wim]

When I play a CD, Winamp starts most songs twice. The song starts and about a second later it starts again. What could be the cause of that? There is no other jumpy behaviour.

i had the same problem. it may come from the fact that you installed the CD Reader plug-in together with the original CDDA reader plugin, given with winamp. if you did, both plugins read the TOC (table of contents) of your audio disc, and add them both to the playlist.
The way to solve this problem is to rename the file 'in_CDDA.dll' in your plugin folder to 'in_CDDA.old'.

Hope this will help...

i have this same problem, and i don't have duplicate cd plugins. any other ideas?

[Wim]

I've checked it, but I don't have double CD plug-ins. I placed all the plug-ins, except the CD plug-in, in a temp directory, but the problem stayed the same. Has somebody any other ideas?

if you use the original plugin from winamp (in_CDDA.dll), your problem may come from different things :
-your CD is dirty, so it makes the laser read again the same sequense (its possible to check that on a standard cd player). since the original CDDA plugin decodes audio with your CD reader's DAC at 1x, error correction is not as efficient as at higher speeds. try downloading the CD reader plugin.
-your laser lens is dirty, i dont know many ways to solve that than using a special CD reader cleaner, thus its REALY dangerous on a hi-speed CD reader (this kind of thing is designed to operate on standard Cd players at 1x, and it may damage your new 48x)
-your CDROM drive is old and dont really agree with RAW reading (if you use the CD reader plugin)
-its a software issue:
-your sound card drivers are inacurate. try downloading newer ones.
-your CD rom drivers dont allow direct transfer (i dont know much about this, its dealing with DMA...). try to change the 'DMA' setting of your CDROM drive in windows' system settings ('System' icon in control panel, CDROM, properties, parameters, 'DMA')

Here are all the solutions I know about this, they are not very useful as you may have already checked all that, but... hope this will help anyway.
