I don't know how long this has happen but when I play a music file in Winamp, it automatically fast forwards through the entire song instead of playing it normally. It fast forwards the song so fast that the song already ends in 3 seconds or less.
I have no idea what is causing this. Is it one of the plugins that is causing this? |

Can you actually hear the song playing, or does the progress indicator just skip ahead to the end of the song? I know that's happened to me in the past, and the cause of it was me forgetting to disable the Diskwriter plugin, so each and every time I tried to play a song, it'd end up converting it to the specifications I had set, and saving it to the hard drive
Open the Preferences window, and click "Output" under Plugins. Make sure "DirectSound output" is selected (and even if it is, click it anyways), close the window, and try playing a song again. That's about the only thing I can think of that would be causing that problem, so outside of that, the only other thing I can really think of to recommend would be to completely uninstall Winamp, and reinstall it again |

You're right Karadur. It was the Diskwriter plugin that was causing the problem. I just disabled it and now songs are playing normally.
Thanks. |

That's good to know, but there's one other thing you should do now. Find the directory that the songs were written to (I'm pretty sure the default is c:\, but select the Diskwriter plugin, and click "Configure" to make sure, but don't forget to change the plugin back afterwards), and open it. Chances are all the songs you tried to play in between having the problem and creating this thread are saved there, and unless you really want to keep them for some reason, they can be deleted.
Otherwise they're pretty much useless files taking up space on your hard drive |

I was wondering how those songs appeared out of nowhere. I just got rid of them just now and got rid of over 300 MB off my computer.
Thanks again, Karadur! |
