can default enqueue option be turned off for m3u files?
 

i reformatted the other day and installed winamp 2.92, after previously using 2.79

i have always liked the 'enqueue as default action' option, as it makes adding files to the playlist much easier - however i have noticed that checking this box seems to affect m3u differently.

if i close winamp, and then click double click on a m3u to play it, winamp has enqueued this playlist to what is already in the playlist.

im guessing this must be some neccesary change that comes with the media library - if so tell me and ill shut up and install 2.79. however i just want to know wether there is anyway to still defaultly enqueue mp3s etc., but have m3us 'refresh' the playlist when they are opened.

thanks in advance for your time

Not that I know of.

Unselect M3U in Winamp -> Prefs -> Filetypes
Open Windows Media Player (6.4 will do)
Associate M3U with WMP (via WMP Options)
Go to: Windows Folder Options -> File Types tab
Scroll down for M3U
Click Advanced
Where default action = Play, hi-lite "Play", click "Edit" button
Change "Action" to: &Play in Winamp
App used: "C:\Program Files\Winamp\Winamp.exe" "%1"
Assuming you're using WinXP, under DDE, change "Application" to: Winamp

You can also edit the other options in here to your taste
(eg. file description, icon, etc)

thanks heaps dj egg for all your help :) :) :)

it does work how i wanted it to now, however i also get an error:

"windows cannnot find 'd:\audio\playlists\playlist.m3u'. make sure you typed..."
:weird:

Hi

Hmm . . . when/where do you get this error message?
Does this playlist file actually exist?

:confused:
