iTunes Plugin v1.06

[digital_exhaust]

I searched, I googled, did all that and came up with nothing.... So, if this has been asked (as I'm sure it has) sorry in advance.

I unfortunately have about a million iTunes files that were purchased from the iTunes Music Store, and am having a few issues with playback.

I have the iTunes plugin installed, and it works, but I get some "skipping" when playing DRM'd files. Non DRM'd files are fine. This skipping occurs whenever I do just about anything other than play music with my machine. I have Synergy installed to share my keyboard and mouse between my Linux box and my Vista machine, and whenever I switch screens, it skips.....whenever I launch a web browser, it skips.... and worse, if I do anything in Winamp, other than select a file, it hangs....

Again, when playing a non DRM'd file, everything is smooth as glass. I would really appreciate any help you all can offer.... I really like Winamp a lot...so much better than iTunes....

Thanks....

The non drm'd files will be standard .m4a files and are therefore decoded by the default Nullsoft MPEG4 Audio Decoder (in_mp4.dll).

Alas, the drm'd ones (.M4P files) are decoded entirely by QuickTime.
The itunes/m4p plugin is just an interface to link Winamp to the itunes database and QuickTime engine. It doesn't do any actual decoding.

Basically, what I'm saying is that:

1) It's possibly a QuickTime buffer setting that needs adjusting (sorry, I don't have iTunes or QuickTime installed, and never intend to)

2) Alas, we don't support 3rd-party plugins here.
Assuming it's this itunes plugin that you're using, then you should post something in that thread and/or contact the plugin author for support.
