definitely needs some loving that little app does as i think it'd be a shame to ditch it as it's useful if only for having a Winamp in the tray all of the time (though i know Win7 has the pin option but takes up too much space even when the icon sizes are reduced).

Yeah, keep it, if only for XP users.

I'd miss it for much the same reasons as Kn0tte.

lets not forget most people still use xp, where its needed.

When I install the Dutch Winamp version, after installation it asks me if I want to add my media library, but the box looks like this:



I can barely click OK and the window cannot be sized .

Did anyone report an issue where Winamp only plays half volume?

If your using windows 7, they have a retarded feature you need to disable. I forget what its called, but basically, windows 7 will reduce the volume of specific applications, whether it be a game, chat program, or possibly winamp. Incredibly annoying, especially when playing a full screen game, with a chat program in the background.

you're probably referring to the communications tab in Sound configuration which is set on by default. It pretty much lowers your regular sound applications in case Windows detects any incoming calls through the modem/fax.

I doubt this is the issue with Winamp playing at half volume though.

It's actually a 'Close' button, not an OK button.
You're supposed to click the "Add Media to Library" button at the top.

I've attached a fixed ml_local.lng file.

Download ml_local.lng
Open Winamp\Lang\Winamp-nl-nl.wlz in 7-Zip (v9.x beta version recommended)
Drag ml_local.lng into it
Click OK to the prompt.

Note: This is for the Dutch Lang Pack only!

yea thats what it was. while playing a full screen game it would start reducing the sound on ventrillo at random. and it would continue to do it until ventrillo had been reduced to an inaudible level.

Alas, we've not looked at or addressed that problem....
At a guess, it's one of the following to blame:

1. We need an updated Sonic Engine from Sonic Solutions (they haven't provided one).

2. The CD/DVD-RW drive is incompatible with the Sonic Engine

3. Some concurrently running process is interfering, either:
a) Some other app which manages CD drives or maybe even also uses the Sonic Engine (eg. Adaptec Easy CD Creator,
Sonic RecordNow or MyDVD, MS Digital Photo Suite), or
b) Some security app is preventing the Sonic drivers from being installed.

4. Or more than likely, for some strange reason, the internal Sonic installer isn't being run in admin mode,
in which case, see below...

Other than that, Sonic installs fine on other peoples' Win7 machines,
so it can only be something system-specific causing it.

You could try manually extracting the Sonic installer from inside the Winamp installer, eg. by using 7Zip (v9.09b), and then running it afterwards...
1. Open the Winamp installer in 7Zip
2. Double-click the [0] folder
3. Then extract all files in the $PLUGINSDIR subfolder to some new folder on your HD
4. In said folder, right-click pxsetup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
5. Hopefully, the Sonic engine will now install properly.



Note: If you click OK on the dialog in your screenshot, then Winamp will still install correctly, and everything should still work except for CD burning (ripping will still work if using Windows native SPTI instead, though you might need to uncheck 'Use Sonic' in CD Ripping settings first).

Well I'm in the same boat. Windows 7 64-bit. Just tried to rip my first CD since I switched from XP and my system freezes. I reinstalled winamp and got an error message during install regarding CD ripping/burning as stated in a previous post. I uninstalled winamp and manually deleted the install dir. Then reinstalled (a freshly downloaded copy) and still got the error. Then found your post and tried your suggestions....

#1, lazy bastards...
#2, My drive ripped fine on XP. It should work on 7 too.
#3, No programs are running that use the CD drive. The only one that might use it was PowerISO which I disabled during troubleshooting.
#4, I ran the pxsetup.exe (as admin) and didn't get any errors. But I also didn't see any windows pop up informing me the install was sucessfull. I would assume this .exe doesn't have a GUI to tell me that. So I'll assume it installed properly. I ran winamp and still locked up when I went to RIP.

Lastly, I unchecked the box for sonic in the winamp ripping preferences. That stops the crashing when attempting to rip but now I cant rip at all! It says it can't find a decoder ;_;

Hmm, strange...
You shouldn't even need Sonic on Win7 just for cd ripping.
Sonic is only required for cd burning.
Ripping works fine for me on Win7 Ultimate 64-bit with no Sonic installed
(it just uses Windows native spti for ripping instead).

I guess something must be wrong with spti on your system...
though I'm not entirely sure how you would go about fixing that (other than reinstalling Windows).

You could try placing Nero's wnaspi32.dll in the Winamp folder (where winamp.exe is).
Some people have said that they (also) needed to place wnaspi32.dll in the C:\Windows\System32 dir.
See if it can successfully use aspi instead...
(make sure 'Use Sonic' is unchecked in CD Ripping settings)


Re: Sonic installer
Out of curiosity, are the following files in your %ProgramFiles%\Winamp folder?

Winamp\primosdk.dll
Winamp\pconfig.dcf
Winamp\System\primo.w5s

Also, if it's a first time Sonic installation, then you possibly also need to reboot before it will work...

But yeah, if you only want CD Ripping, and don't need Audio CD Burning support,
then don't even bother installing Sonic :-)

[nowwhatnapster]

Nice... that worked.

Albeit a quick fix. I greatly appreciate it!

I like to rip FLAC copies of all the CD's I buy for backup/digital playback.

Jump to File Update

I've just released an updated build of the Jump To File plugin here which (hopefully) resolves the ghost JTF window.

[djpete]
