Enqueing results in 100+ winamps opening up

SandSukka · 24th April 2004, 04:09

I looked for this problem. I'm sure other people are having it. When I open winamp with nothing in my playlist and then enque 200+ songs, only about 130 get enqued and then for every other song, a new winamp is opened. This results in crash and burn. I can't stand it. How do I make it stop. Oh, and these are ALL mp3's.

To validate your bug report, please provide system specs.
What's your Windows OS, including service pack?
Winamp version? Clean install? No 3rd-party plugins?

I can't reproduce this under Win98SE or WinXP sp1 with Winamp 5.03.

For now, use Winamp -> Playlist -> "Add" button instead.

Could you please try the following:

Winamp -> Prefs -> General Preferences:
Checkmark "allow multiple instances"
Close Prefs
Close Winamp
Reopen Winamp
Go back into Prefs and uncheck "allow multiple instances"
Close prefs
Close & Reopen Winamp.
