Two Questions!

KiaraCurry · 1st February 2002, 00:57

Ok, I downloaded the new version of WinAmp and, with the support of a longtime WinAmp user, I've gotten used to working it.
However, I have two questions.

1) How do I make a HTML playlist?
My friend sent me her playlist as an HTML file...and she swears there is a button on the playlist screen. I don't know where it is, but I'd like to make an HTML playlist!

2) Why won't skins work?
I've downloaded a few skins from sites, and I have unzipped them very nicely. When I go to switch to those skins, I get a "WinAmp has performed an illegal operation" message and the program shuts down. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

1) Playlist > MiscOpt > Misc > "Generate HTML playlist (Shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+G)

2) Is this winamp2 or Winamp3? Completely un-install and re-install Winamp.

1) There is no MiscOpt anything...

2) WinAmp3.
I uninstalled and reinstalled, and then tried to switch skins. It didn't work.

I got the message "Studio has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down". I clicked on Details and got:

"STUDIO caused an invalid page fault in

I have no clue what any of that means - but my skins won't work.

1) Winamp2: There is, it may be called "Misc" or "other" based on the skin. Its the right button in the buttons on the left.

Winamp3: Feature not implemented yet

2)
Winamp3 FAQ

Will my Winamp 2.XX skins still work?
As of currently old skins are supported (though only the EQ and main window work in the current beta). Though to take full advantage of the new skin format skins will need to be re-written. Winamp2.X Skin support is currently broken in Beta 2.5

The latest official version of Winamp is v2.78c
Winamp 3 beta is NOT recommended to be used by anyone other than developers, so they can get used to the API/GUI, and it certainly isn't recommended for newbies.
My advice: stick with WA2 for now.

btw, in WA2, there is no need to unzip the .WSZ or .ZIP skins.
Just place them as they are in the Winamp\Skins dir.
