Usually this type of error is caused by some third-party plugin.

System specs & my_plugins_list would be useful:

Mmh, plugins list looks ok.

Have you tried a clean install?


Also get the in_mp3 update patch:

Do you have any Portable players/devices connected, and if yes then:

1) Are they being managed by Winamp?

2) Are any of them Plays4Sure devices?

If the answer to both is "no", then close Winamp,
go to the Winamp\Plugins folder
and disable pmp_p4s.dll

either by moving it to some backup folder elsewhere
or renaming it to eg. pmp_p4s.dll.off

Whilst you're in there, if you don't have any ActiveSync devices either (Windows Mobile, smartphone, etc), then do the same with pmp_activesync.dll

Restart Winamp

Does the problem persist?


If the answer to questions 1+2 is "yes", then please provide details.

i got toshiba ppc using activesync ver 4.5 and i just did your recommendation and i still got the error probleme

[DJ Egg]

Hmmmm... so you still get that error even when both pmp_p4s.dll and pmp_activesysnc.dll aren't in the Winamp\Plugins folder?

Did you try disabling the other pmp plugins then? (pmp_ipod, pmp_usb, pmp_njb)?

If the error goes away, let us know which of the pmp plugins was causing it.

If the problem persists even after disabling all pmp plugins, including ml_pmp.dll (the pmp_*.dll plugin loader), then we'll take things from there.

The only other known case I've found was caused by some conflict with the Windows Media Decoder (in_wm.dll) and some Windows Media Player 11 module update/mod.

Though I've a sneaky feeling that maybe one of the new Gracenote/MusicId features might also be a possible cause (not sure about this yet).

If it's none of the pmp plugins or in_wm, move on to ml_plg (Playlist Generator). I doubt if it's ml_autotag, but you never know.

Basically, because we can't reproduce the problem, if you can find out which plugin is causing it, it might help us to debug said plugin.

[heavymax666]

it is working no more complain thks very much DJ Egg and have nice day

[DJ Egg]

Cool. So which plugin was causing it then?

[heavymax666]

it was one of those file pmp_activesync.off
pmp_ipod.off
pmp_p4s.off

it is working very happy have a nice evening man

Sorry To revive the thread. But I get the same type of error when I use the Playlist Generator.
usually I will manually go into the playlist generator settings and do the complete scan before I do anything. Once the scan is completed, then I will get the error attached anytime that I close Winamp.
I have also noticed that when I reset the database, the error does not occur.
I hope that this helps.

I get the same error with WinAmp 5.5.


I did a clean install a couple of times, and did some testing with various plug-in configurations and I can say with some certainty that the problem is either in the playlist generator plug-in or in the media library plug-in itself. The likely cause is the inability of the plug-in(s) to handle a large amount on data (or precisely, to write a final data backup on WinAmp close quickly enough).

This can be observed with a fresh install with no data in the media library. I never had any errors on close in that case. But when I add my media, the error occurs in every close.

Granted, my media library is a bit larger than the regular user would have (think 2k+ albums) so it is probable that the root cause of the error is not poorly written code, but a code that wasn’t intended to handle that many items.

And, before anybody asks… I’m running a high end machine with plenty of RAM and no Vista, so hardware/OS isn’t the issue.


Update:

Well, it seams that it’s definitely the Playlist Generator. For some reason the plug-in just stopped working (cant initialize plug-in error) but on the up side, there’s no more error on winamp exit. It’s a pity actually, as I rather like the Playlist Generator plug-in, but it seams I’ll have to wait for aversion that can handle my library size.

[Zakar]

I am resonably certain it is the playlist generator plugin. If it is not running, I do NOT get the error when I close Winamp. If it is running, I do get the error.
I am running Win2K and have a 20+gig library.

I recently rebuilt my computer so Winamp is a clean install on a clean machine.

Does anyone know why they switched from the Predixis to Gracenote service?

From Winamp 5.51 internal beta whatsnew:

* Fixed: [ml_plg] Crash when stopping Playlist Generator scan or resetting database

In 5.5, for now, you have to let the scan fully complete.

[vinisantos]

I have had this problem for some time. Reading this post, I've found out that the Gracenote plugins could be a problem. I've simply renamed the Gracenote folder to Gracenote.old.
The issue was instantly solved and I was able to open my Winamp again.
My version is 5.531. I use Windows XP and Nvidia (nViews - Which was not causing a problem as for some guys that reported it here.)

[gl00ml0rd]

FYI - I ran into the same issue (receiving this error every time Winamp was closed). After removing the suggested DLL's above I was still getting the error.

After a bit of trial and error I nailed it down to be the "Gen_Evil.Lyrics.dll" that was causing the issue. Hopefully this will help others who might have had that same plugin installed from an earlier version.

AFAIK this plugin was working in previous versions (though I upgraded a few versions at once to 5.541 the other day when the error started appearing, so I'm not sure which other versions might be affected as well).

Thanks to DJ Egg for leading me down the right path.

I am using 5.552. I have had the same issue for the last 2 or 3 updates and have tried all the suggestions previously posted with no success. Anything new to try? Thx

[heinz57g]

same here, fully updated XP SP3 system, four error mssgs upon closing 5.552
of winamp. none of above helped, installation is actually a fairly clean one.
that file '' Gen_Evil.Lyrics.dll '' does not even exist here.

greetings - heinz -

[4amusement]

At least it still works on my computer. Hope they solve it though since the complaint has been dragging on for a long time. Another good player to try is KMplayer. Excellent, although each has some unique features to recommend them.

[heinz57g]

not quite how it is supposed to be: went back to 5.51, and the issue is solved.
for a while ...

greetings - heinz -

[WolvenSpectre]

I also had the same problem with the latest version of WinAmp and the Samurize Plugin when Samurize isn't running

[Jadyn45]

I think its one solution only....just uninstall and again reinstall....

[raguila]

I also got error when closing WinAmp 5.621

It was solved renaming ml_pmp.dll and all pmp_*.dll files to .off, starting WinAmp, stoping it and renaming back all of them.

The error disappeared.

Thanks for the tracks.
