wma files not working....

Hi, i can hear wma files with kazaa or windows media player, but not with winamp...
Is this a copyright issue?

Also i tried running the Unfuck wma and to every wma on my computer it said: "error playing file".

Any suggestions?

Well with every release of Winamp after 2.5 there have been copyright issues with Microsoft's WMA plugin. Use the older version from here (just extract it to your winamp/plugins folder): http://www.public.asu.edu/~abarber2/.../in_wm_old.zip

Or try this: with the full version of Winamp, delete the in_wm.dll and put WMA in the list of extensions under Nullsoft's DirectSound plugin.

Let us know if that helps!
