Making Huge Wav Files

superberri4 · 6th February 2005, 16:48

Ok, this is really weird. I just installed the plugins for "Support for fast-switching" and the iPod support one. Then when I restarted WinAMP and tried to play a song... It fast-forwared through the song and then alerted me that "C:\[insert song here] already exists. Ok to overwrite?".

Then I check in C and there's a 65MB 1441bp/s .wav file. I uninstalled the two plugins and it's still doing this... Thanks in advance!

Go to Prefs (Ctrl+P) > Output. If it is what I think it is, 'Nullsoft Disk Writer' will be selected. That means all songs are written to disk instead of played through your speakers. Select DirectSound output to make Winamp behave normally again.

If you're bored go here or, if the boredom is more serious, here.
