Unlocking files being played

capsula4 · 27th June 2007, 18:36

Is it possible to "unlock" a file, in other words, to be able to modify, delete or move the file while is being played in Winamp?

I have just moved from WMP to Winamp and since WMP allowed that, I'm really accostumed to modify files while they are being played and now I'm getting all the time an annoying warning.

Thanks,
Luis

No.

If you are just editing tags, do it with Winamp's own tag editor(s), the windows' one is junk.

Ah, it's alrite, anyway what I actually edit is the file's name or I move the file to another location, I guess WMP makes a cachÃ© of the file or something.

If you know this is possible to make, or if exists any plugin for it, I would be glad. If not, thanks anyway for your help!

Greets,
