Winamp Music just doesn't work

GuitarGirl19 · 19th August 2006, 08:35

I've searched all over this board to try and find anyone else with this problem but I guess I'm the only one.

Whenever I go to play a song listed in Winamp Music, it loads and goes to a video (that's really just an image) of an AOL message saying "The video that you requested can be found at www.AOLVideo.com - along with thousands of other music, news, adn TV videos"...and that's all that happens.

Am I missing something? It does this whether I play a video, or just an audio clip from Winamp Music. It just started doing that one day out of the blue.

Nichkoi · 29th August 2006, 03:04

does this happen on your home computer? if so, could you post the specs for that as well, when you get home.

Nichkoi · 30th August 2006, 04:43

yea it does, i will post the specs in a loooong 7 hours from now :P

alex_gamer · 30th August 2006, 04:47

hmm, i having a theory about this: the problem is server side, because it happens with me too.

Nichkoi · 30th August 2006, 04:58

I thought that too, because it happens to me at work and home.

Oops. Sorry I didn't post the stats before but everything's the same as Nichkoi except I have a Gateway.

The message you are getting when you try to play those videos simply means "this is NOT free". You have to go to that AOL site and BUY it! I guess Nullsoft needs some sources of revenue, and this is one of them!

Nichkoi · 6th September 2006, 04:07

ok thanks for the answer

DO NOT PM me for tech support. No matter what you're doing, use the right tool for the job!
