Devs. look into this issue please (WMA)

I've been reading a lot about this problem lately.

The new Winamp v2.71 is unable to play WMA's after a clean install. I've tried to reinstall 2.70 but that didn't help either.

I've also installed the wmaudioredist file but still no luck. I (among many others) don't know what to do, all my other software, Windows Media Player, Napster, SoundForge etc.. etc.. can play WMA's without problems. What happened? I guess it has to be something with Winamp 2.71 screwing up something with it's registry settings I dunno but I would be very happy if you could solve this issue because I don't wanna use WMPlayer, it's such a resource hog.

I've got exactly the same problem.
But I had the problem before v2.71.

I tried 2.64, 2.65 and 2.7 and don't find a solution.

Please HELPPPPPPP !!!!

Ok, well I've found a solution. Simply d/l the full version and you'll be able to play WMA's again.

I can't understand why they say the standard version plays WMA's when it apparently doesn't anymore. The reason I only download the standard version nowadays is that I don't care for the MJUICE format.

Sorry, but I've already tried the Full version of 2.64, 2.65, 2.70 and 2.71 ...

It's not the solution.

hmm, weird. It worked for me but I guess I was just lucky. There seem to be something pretty weird with the WMA thing in Winamp.
