Is there a plugin that can...

strugz · 9th February 2002, 00:28

...queue up tracks in the current playlist in the order I select them? I am fed up with having to make a million separate playlists for my 3000-odd MP3s - I just want to open the entire playlist and pick out a few to be played.

Let me put it another way: I would like to be able to right-click a file in the current playlist and choose "play next", and then another, and then another, etc... or select a group of tracks and play them randomly or in sequence.

I hope you get the picture. Is there a plugin that can do this sort of thing?

well, personally, i don't like winamp 3 because it takes about a hundred years to load, whereas winamp 2 takes about 1/2 a second.

if anyone does know about a plugin (or can write a plugin?) that'd be great.

while i'm on the subject of winamp 3... why does it take so long to load?

It's not finished yet

define takes so long to load????

mine only takes a little longer than winamp 2

unzip your skins(each skin having an individual folder) so winamp doesn't have to decompress them.

loading playlists is slow(i agree)
supposedly much better when beta 3 comes along

and im running winamp 3 with every plug-in i could nacker up

My WA3 stopped playing for a few weeks but now it works again. Ah well.

i stopped using after it was the only program that fucked up XP so badly all my programs crashed..

and yes i knew it would do that

but i forced it to go from track to track anyways

i just downloaded winamp 3 beta 2.5 and take back the comment that it takes ages to load. it only takes afew seconds now so that's ok. you never know, i might even start using it instead

...but it won't load most of my plugins and skins, which is very annoying, and it also takes ages to load my playlist on startup, whereas winamp 2 does this instantly. still, i can't really make any valid complaints until winamp 3 final is released, so until then i'll shut up about it

because WA3 uses different plugins and skins.

Read the Winamp3 FAQ it has a lot of information about beta 2.5. You can use many of the general, dsp, vis, and input plugins from Winamp2 with a little extra work. And if you use Peter's updates on winamp2 and 3, that nasty crash-on-seek bug *should* go away.
