Long playlists result in crashes

29th April 2000, 23:59

I'm using 2.61 right now, but I've noticed this problem before. I have several large playlists (19k-25k) and upon loading them, Winamp proceeds to crash. I think the largest one it will load successfully is ~15k.

I have not downlodaed 2.62 yet, as I'm sure this is still a problem. Just letting you guys know, hopefully you'll fix this and I'll have a use for my all.m3u's

That's no problem of Winamp, it's a problem of your Machine.
My hugest playlist has 340KB, and it loads without problems.

What kind of PC do you have?
I have AMD K6-II 450, 192MB RAM (But it loaded also well with 64MB)

Hey can one of you guys help me? I need a version of winamp or any mp3 player that will generate html lists of my playlists but with the length of each track...I used to have an old version like 1.71 or something but recently I upgraded to 2.62. This is really bothering me. Please help ASAP!! Thx.

Paramjot!

They just moved the buttons around, it's still there!

In the playlist, click MISC options, and then MISC options, generate HTML playlist.

It amazes me how many people ask this question =P
