Winamp stops after each song on a playlist

[singhemma093]

I also tried resetting my profile but think this is a global setting (im set to winamp settings for all users).

Global hotkeys are off. But I suspect WinAMP is responding to keystrokes meant for another app that I am currently working in.

The odd thing is that "stop after current song" is not checked. I tried hitting a bunch of keys and CTRL-V and CRTL-R and CTRL-SHT-R on the night of 9/8 and somewhere along the line, WinAMP started working normally. However, now it is not working for me.

The only thing different is I turned on Shuffle option Sept 8. It seems that option randomly causes WinAMP to stop after current selection, but not always.

Is it possible that the last item in the playlist played before playback stopped? I don't know for sure, but maybe playback stops after the last item in a playlist is played, even when running in shuffle mode. I never use shuffle mode. I select the randomise command (Ctrl+Shift+R) 3 or 4 times in a row when I want to mix up the default playback order of a playlist.

you are right about this. I run random play all the time , as soon as all tracks are played the player stops.
It does the same as running in normal playout mode and you come to the last track.

As soon as Winamp has played all tracks the player stops.

only when you activate repeat all it will continue to play the playlist.

Thank you for your reply, but I'm not talking about playback stopping when all the tracks in a playlist are played. I'm asking if playback stops when the last track listed in a playlist is played (when using random (shuffle) mode), even if all the other tracks in the playlist have not been played.

I know that random play selects tracks in a random order instead of a sequential top down order. This allows the same tracks to be played more than once before all the other tracks in a playlist are played. This is why I randomize my playlists (when I don't want to use a playlist's default sequential top down order) instead of using random (shuffle) play.

Randomizing a playlist multiple times in a row (before starting playback) is like shuffling a deck of cards. In the end, the tracks are in a different top down order and each track is only played once using normal sequential play mode.

with CTRL -B you can go straight to the last track in any mode , so if you are doing something else on your computer but you use CTRL -B i think that Winamp is going to the last track in your playlist while others are still not played.

Ok, are you saying there may be a bug in Winamp letting it respond to the Ctrl+B hotkey when that hotkey is used in another app?

Anyway, we're just guessing about what may be causing Basspig's issue. Hopefully he will let us know if the last track he heard playing before playback stopped was the last one listed in his playlist.
