Commandline size limit

There seems to be an artifical limit on the size winamp can take as it's command line, I looks like is is around 1000 chars. .net apps can handle 32k so winamp should too. Attached is a test batch file [saved as .txt as the website doe snot applow me to upload a .bat file., you can see the truncation in the playlist even if the .mp3 files do not exist.

I won't run this code but I will try and help. Please provide a screen shot of the problem.

I just tested running Winamp at the command line with over 1000 characters and it worked fine.

In a rush though and suspect Windows may be internally parsing the switches as one.

Out of time. Hope this helps.
