Can't burn CDs with 5.32

[wasteoftime]

Finally, after over a week, I was able to register(I was registered before, but the boards did not accept my info). Thus, the new username.
Coming to business, I downloaded, and installed v.5.32 of Winamp Pro. I had v.5.24 which was working fine, as all previous versions had. Burning CDs with v.5.32 yield tracks of 3-19 sec in length. I tried to reinstall 5.32, different CDs, and different playlists to no avail. The same playlists, all mp3, burned fine in iTunes or Real Player.
I contacted [email protected] at least three time in the past week, and did not even receive confirmation.
I am back with v.5.24, but what's going on? I know that I am not the only one with problems burning. And, why one version works, and the other one doesn't? I am using WinXP, and I used the link for people owning Winamp Pro. Installation went smoothly, and other features seem to work.

Can't burn CDs with 5.32

So, ten days, and no input from [email protected].
May be a different download will help, but I think that my username tells all. In the meantime, I found out that a friend of mine who I recommended Winamp to, has gotten no help either, so Winamp was removed. At least, I can operate with v.5.24.
Please, if anyone has the same conditions as mine, i.e. Winamp Pro, upgraded from 5.24, and winXP, and no problem burning CDs, please post.

Unfortunately because of the limited staff at Nullsoft the support E-mail has never really worked out too well. Which is why the Tech Support forums exists.

If anyone is to help (here at the forums), please provide system & Winamp specs.

Sorry for the wrong quote. This is a reply to JohnnyMac. I understand that one has to go according to certain rule, but too much is too much. I have an emachineT2885, 512MB,winxp sp2. Otherwise, I think that I gave enough information. Unless there is some drastic difference between 5.32 and 5.24.
I have 5.24Pro installed, and it burns CDs, however 5.32Pro does not. I can go back and forth, and confirm this behavior.
I wasted four CD-Rs in the process.
I don't even know where to hunt for all the requested info, and I will still to what I have, although I may try another download of 5.32Pro, and possibly waste another CD-R, and more time.
I will bite the bullet, otherwise. I, just don't the time to waste. My6 other players burn fine, as 5.24 was.
I will let you know what happens.

the sonic engine was updated, maybe they broke support for your cd burner.

what cd burner do you have? make and model and firmware version if you know how to do this.

I think I got the info from Right click|properties. Lite-on ltr-48327S in the hardware tab. I noticed one thing which should not matter, as Winamp5.24, Real Player and iTunes burn CDs with no difficulty. In the Desktop CD recording, the "enable CD recording is unchecked.
My friend who gave up on Winamp mentioned something about Sonic being, possibly, the culprit. If this is the case, I hope that they will be alerted. I can do ok with my present version, but would never recommend Winamp to anyone if chances are that the burning would not work.
Regardless of the reason, I appreciate your input.

Well, I lost all my playlists, beside being unable to burn CDs.
I have gone back to 5.24, where I can burn CDs, have all my bookmarks, but still no playlist. It could be worse.

I, just, updated to 5.33. I did a "burn" in Test Mode, and the results were, pretty much the same, although I got some track burnt as much a 1'13".
I noticed something which I had not noticed before. At least, in Test mode, the CD burner locks up. I can use other features of Winamp, but the CD burner will not open unless I reboot the computer. Now, mind this, it started happening with Winamp5.32, and, is carried on to v.5.33. All orher burners are fine, so it is not a drive problem.

I have the same problem since upgrading to 5.33,cannot burn cd's at all.Winamp crashes while preparing the tracks("Winamp has encountered a problem and needs to close"). This worked fine on 5.32..,, Thanks

[sensi0asis]

i'm having the same problems too. my burn process won't begin. it asks me if i want to burn and i hit burn. and then nothing. not even a crash. it just ignores me. i have winamp 5.33 and my comp is emachine with vista. i thought at 1st that it was a vista problem but others are having problems while using xp. i just actually bought winamp. i didn't download some crack or anything. i've been using this program for years and years and finally decided to "donate" to the cause. if it weren't for AVS i'd probably use something else.

[sensi0asis]

okay so i uninstalled and deleted winamp 5.33 and downloaded 5.24 and my cd's burn. now i gotta check the AVS problems. bbl to let ya'll know.

[Bamahusker]

yeah

well i don't get anything like that but i know there are no "add file" or "burn" buttons are gone and i don't know what that's all about.

@ bamahausker - Did you disable 'Sonic' under File Types in the installer ?
Can you check you have the file 'primosdk.dll' in your main Winamp folder.
Does your burner have a blank CD inserted.

yeah i had errors coming up when i went to 5.33 but i saw in a previous post someone said tyo uninstall or reinstall and disable Sonic so i did. the "primosdk.dll i don;t see in here. do i have to look for it under a certain folder? is there a way to put it in?
