262205 2004-08-16 06:10:00 I have winamp v5.0c, with the wma plugin installed (it came preinstalled) yet if I have .wma's in a folder with .mp3's then as soon as winamp hits the .wma it generates an error and closes, yet It will play wma's (most of the time) if I select them individually with nothing else playing,

so is there an alternative, mp3 player program out there that isn't full of c**p, spyware etc and doesn't hog system resources that will play these two formats without hissy fits.

I previously had winamp 2.Something? but it didn't like .wmas at all, and I have used nero media player but it also didn't like wma's

thanks in advance

262207 2004-08-16 07:33:00 5.0c is way outdated - Get the updates, they fixed that in 5.02 IIRC Chilling_Silence (9)
262208 2004-08-16 07:44:00 What about Foobar2000 (www.foobar2000.org)? It is light on resources and does all you want. For the .wma support you will need to download the foobar2000 v0.8.3 - special (www.foobar2000.org) version - 2.38 MB. Jen C (20)

Hmmm... speaking of outdated, so would be 5.02. 5.03 is better because it gets rid of the AOL stuff and has support for WMA series 9 WMA Files. I think upgrading to 5.03 would solve your problems... unless you're on a slower computer in which case a downgrade to 2.9x would probably see you through.

262211 2004-08-16 11:44:00 Isint it that you can use Windows Media player to play the wma files? Blue_face (1148)
262212 2004-08-17 04:59:00 I agree - To me the first thing to try would be getting the latest WinAmp 5.04 :-)

Windows Media Player - What that? ;-)
