Playlist doesn't play continously

ericg · 15th August 2002, 01:56

When i put songs in playlist(they are songs that are streamed) they play but not one after another. I went through all the preferences and it still doesn't work. It worked fine in 2.8. I have to manually choose the songs to play, Please help this is annoying.....
By the way great look to 3 and the skins, great job...

CTRL+P -> Playlists -> Check to make sure that "Manual playlist advance only" isn't enabled.

edit: shoutcast streams are continuous, therefore, do not have an "end". You will have to click next to play the next stream in both Winamp 2 and Winamp3, because there is not way Winamp can tell when a song has ended.

This is exactly what it happening to me, too. I checked the setting..it is NOT checked for manual advance. Take an m3u with URLs to stream music in 2.8..works fine. Take the exact m3u in 3.0, it will only play 1 song. Then I have to click play to start the next song, then play again...etc.

I am having the same problem in 2.81 and it is unchecked

I've created m3u files to play my albums from my server, their contents look something like this:

http:///SongTitle1.mp3
http:///SongTitle2.mp3
http:///SongTitle3.mp3

When I load a m3u file like this into WinAmp 3 it won't advance songs. It just stops after playing the first song. I've tried every setting I can find in the preferences and still no luck. This is bummin me out.

Just thought I'd chime in, that I'm having the same problem, which is annoying because I stream all my music from my home box while at work using andromeda. And also, this does work fine in Winamp 2 fine, been doing it for years. Until this problem is resolved there will be no sexy winamp3 for me.

I am having this exact same problem as well. Any progress on this? I'd like to stay with WA3 if this problem can get resolved. Otherwise I'm forced to use 2.x.
