Thanks, Arthur. Very clear directions. I solved the problem, only thanks to you, with a different setting in Winamp's general properties by unchecking the box that has Winamp search for updates. With that nuisance gone, I'll keep Winamp as the default for now. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arthur Barney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi Adrian, Open Winamp, (ctrl + P for preferences, go to the top for general preferences, and tab to where it says check for Winamp at start up, and uncheck it. If you want to make Windows media your default, open WindowsMedia, Alt for file, go to to tools, press inter, arrow up to options, inter, Ctrl tab 8 time to file types, and tab to select all button, press space bar, and tab to OK. Take care, Arthur Barney ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrian Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, Arthur. This is surely asked and answered, but as a 5.35 user, how do I stop Winamp from elbowing in and demanding I upgrade to 5.5? Alternatively, how do I make Windows Media Player my default, as I attempted without success earlier today? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arthur Barney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Kevin, and Emma, I had the same problem, so I went back to 5.35. If you don't have it, let me know, I will send it to you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "kevin and Emma" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hi all, i've recently upgraded from winamp 5.35 to 5.5 and now have a really irritating problem. before, with 5.35, i could put a cd in the drive, select play audio cd and it would play the whole cd without a break. however now, it seems to be checking for a valid entry online via one of the online databases after each track. if it can't find a match, it stops playing and tells me so and asks if i want to submit a new entry. i don't mind if this for the first track, but it does it for each individual track and it's bugging me. how can i stop winamp doing this? i want it to behave like before, where it would just carry on playing whether it had a match or not. i've looked through preferences and i can't find anything that would seem to be an obvious solution. kevin - (lord l) "Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice"-Will Durant contact me: email/msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype: lordandladyl Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
