Lag on winamp close...

chs · 28th May 2001, 10:28

I have noticed in the latest versions of winamp, that when I close down the proggy, the CPU usage hits the roof for three seconds. This gets annoying when I close immediatly to enter a game or lock my workstation and it lags :-/

I have a playlist of over 100, you think that may have something to do with it?!

[EDIT]Specs r win2k Sp2, damn fast machine, got soo much in it I cant be arsed explaining.[/EDIT]

It may be it. Whenever you close winamp, it copies the list of files in the playlist editor window into the file Winamp.m3u in the Winamp directory so that they will still be there when you next open winamp. I'm guessing your computer is choking a little when it writes the playlist.

I never got this in earlier version, any chance we could go back to the earlier system, just for little old me?!

Guess not
