Playlist gone :o
 

Hey

this has happened a few times before, but has just rectified itself, but this time it seems to be persistant

When i loaded winamp previously (i have it docked to the bottom of my screen, with the playlist pane on the right), it loaded up ok..then i pressed the play button on my keyboard (shortcut to winamp play) and it started playing

i then looked at winamp to choose a different song and none of the songs are listed in my playlist pane..

it still plays the songs, in the correct order, and in random..

i have tried reloading the playlist, and my backup playlist..but nothing there still..and when i do load the playlist (as i have the songs in alphabetical order by artist), it doesnt go to the first song it should be..it goes to a random song...where it should normally go to song 1 in my playlist

there are about 5500 songs in my list..but i would doubt that the number of songs would have an impact

what can i do to get my playlist back, other than to add the songs to the playlist pane again by click+drag etc?

Make sure you have the latest version of Winamp. The current version of Winamp at the time of this reply is 5.541.

yep..5.541...aug 3 2008

thats the one i have

and just to confirm.

pc spec:

windows vista home premium
intel core 2 quad q6600 2.4ghz
4gb ram
512 nvidia 9600 gfx

but this also happened on my previous system..which was
windows xp home
intel p4 3ghz
1gb ram
256mb ati radeon x600

Try undocking and/or a different skin.

undocking did it :)...hmm...why didnt i think of that

sorry for wasting your time, but thanks for the help :)

You're welcome :)

That was a issue with earlier versions of Winamp (prior to 5.54). After updating, sometimes undockingn the docking back (if desired) was needed to ensure the fix fully took place. For a moment I was worried the issue was creeping back.
