  • Winamp Constantly Crashes

    I've been using Winamp since the early 2000s. Just bought a new computer, win 10, and installed winamp 5.8. The ONLY thing I do with winamp is play mp3s from my HDD... no streaming, internet stuff, plugins or anything. I was putting up with winamp crashing every 10-30 minutes for a while, but now it's like every minute. Completely unusable at this point. Everything is a fresh install here(PC is 1 month old), and winamp has been acting up like this from the beginning.

    I've tried running winamp with windows 7 compatibility mode, as winamp worked fine with windows 7, my last OS. No dice. Tried winamp in safemode. Same issue. In fact, winamp seems even buggies in safemode... really slow, unresponsive, file name now include the file file path instead of just artist - title, winamp takes forever to "scan" all my files and it's frozen until it's done, in fact I was unable to even play a song at all in safe mode... super unusable.

    I tried uninstalling 5.8 and going back to an older version (can't remember, 5.6 maybe). Same results, so I went back to 5.8.

    Winamp Version 5.8 Build 3660(x86) (downloaded from winamp site)

    I downloaded Koopa's winamp tool to get the plugin and setting list, but even when I try to run the exe as an administrator, nothing happens. I have NOT added any plugins though. Like I said, I ONLY play mp3s from my HDD.

    I tried to pull up some error logs. Winamp preferences lists the location for logs at \AppData\Roaming\Winamp\Plugins but I did not see any logs here.

    Not sure what else to do at this point. Suggestions?
