Last Played and ML addition not working properly

Chiba · 8th November 2005, 13:08

Hi,

just set up my computer and Winamp (5.111), now I miss 2 things I had before.

First when I want to add files to my ML, I usually do this over the 'Library' Button on the bottom left and then 'Add Media to Library...'. Usually this always brought me to the folder I browsed to the last time I used this function, now I always start off in the Winamp installation folder. This is pretty annoying since all my mp3s are in one folder and I don't want to have to browser there anew everytime.

Second, I checked the option 'Enable Recently Played view in Media Library' but the Counter and Date are only updated in the 'Audio' view, but not in the whole 'Local Media' view, which I want to use.

I'm sure these worked before, so if they're not bugged in the new Winamp version I must have missed some options. Hope someone can help me to make my Winamp perfect again.

For the first problem, add a file from your music folder to the Winamp playlist (via: Playlist > Add > Files > select file(s) > click the Open button). The ML should now use this same dir.

Alternatively, with Winamp closed, edit the cwd= line in winamp.ini (root Winamp folder) accordingly, eg.

[Winamp]

cwd=X:\Path\To\Music

Hmm, I'm not sure about the second problem though. Everything seems to be working fine here.

Thx for the help.

The second problem disappeared after a restart now, so everything's working fine again.
