Why is Winamp cutting off the end of my songs?

Unislash · 22nd December 2007, 19:32

I did a quick search on the subject to see if it had been answered before, and it came up with nothing. If i'm a bad searcher and it's already been answered then... well, by bad. Anyhoo, the problem:

I recently updated to the newest winamp. I listened to my big huge playlist (over 100 hours... so i guess not that big for some of us :P) and, to my surprise, on a *few* songs, the end would be cut off (1-3 seconds). I had not noticed this before updating.

I investigated by going to the original sound files on my computer and playing them outside (?) of the playlist, and their track times were different! Lo and behold, the end of my songs weren't cut off either. So i went ahead and replaced the songs in my playlist that were being cut off with fresh ones (played the original songs, went to recently played, moved them to the playlist, deleted the corrupted songs). I don't know how long that lasted, but it wasn't long before the same songs were yet again cut off.

This leads me to think that it is a winamp feature/bug that is effecting me. The only thing i can think of is that winamp is attempting to cut off the "silent" parts at the end of my songs, which i'd rather it not do...

Suggestions? Comments?

Cheers,

Do you have "remove silence at the beginning/end of track selected"?

"Ctrl+P>Output>Other>the uncheck "remove silence at the beginning/end of track selected" see if that works.

Hmmm did you try a clean install?

Post up you system specs and plugins that will help. It might be one of the plugins screwing things up.

I never really found a fix for this, but I don't recall it happening now... odd. Anyhoo, if it does happen again, I'll be sure to post again. In the mean time... off the top of my head:

Hardware
1.7 Ghz Processor (Pentium M)
2 GB RAM (ddr2)
Realtek High Definition Audio (sound card, iirc)
60 GB Hard drive @ 72000 RPM (+ 250 GB external--but not running music from this)
ATI Mobility Radeon X700 Gfx card (128 MB iirc, but could be 256--been a bit since i checked this)
Hmm... what else... nothing important
