AIFs again

littledragon7 · 3rd June 2006, 16:09

Hey! Winamp 5 DOESN'T PLAY AIFs unless they have the full extension .aiff - someone posted this bank in September '94 but it's been ignored, but it's a pretty serious bug guys EVRYTHING I have that isn't .mp3 is .aif, and I can't be arsed renaming them.

Apparently if I put the dlls from an old winamp into winamp 5 then it'll play them but i'm sure this isn't too advisable since by winamp 5.22 this could cause some erratic behaviour...

Can you sort this out guys, or give me a fix? I don't want to use WMP...

calm down, IT PLAYS .aif, but you must add this (1) to the extension list of in_wave, and (2) enable it in the winamp file associations list!

How to do this:
Preferences --> Plugins --> Input --> Nullsoft Waveform decoder (dbl click) --> enter AIF in the box to add it.

Then click ok, close everything and restart Winamp. Then go to Preferences --> General --> File types and select the entry "AIF", which shoulg show up in the list now. Then close and restart Winamp, to register the extension.

Then, dbl clicking on a .AIF file, should play it in Winamp properly - at least on my PC it DOES!

Best regards,
