How do I get to play WMA files with Winamp?

//EDIT http://windowsmedia.com/wmrm/wmrm.asp I get that page when I try to play one.

I think that's becaue the WMA file you tried to play has DRM.

Is there a work-around for that?

You would have to crack the DRM-System...Not easy.... :unsure:

24 bit playback doesn't exsist!

All content is in 16 bit

ALL Of creative's products Don't support 24 bit PLAYBACK.

Only encoding.

Too bad you all believe what foobar tells you.

its a damn shame, people don't read anything for themselves nowadays.

:no:

Hi.

Your a moron.

Don't spread ignorant facts.

Have a nice day.

btw: on topic of winamp5, glad to see them takin a step away from winamp3, but keeping their awesome skinning code. Thumbs up for winamp5, it supports (should) all winamp 2.x plugins, so mad plugins / directsound SSRC etc should all work in it for those who want better quality output.

You can't auto hide anymore??!?? I used to love using the NonStep skin for WinAmp3 but it seems like the autohide option is gone making the skin unpratical. Or am I missing something?

I really liked NonStep too, and it worked perfect on the WA5 alpha.

Now when I try to use it, it maxes out my resources and I have to do an end task on Winamp to recover.

No probs with any other WA3 skins though. Weird.

everything is good except that there's no crossfader... [snip]

or maybe there is i just can't find it...

There is a crossfader. Just head over to options->preferences->output->directsound output-bla-bla-bla->configure->fading-> and configure it to suit your needs. :)

That works in the 2.9x versions [and possibly earlier ones as well.]

thanks for turning on the light... but it's still kindda dim 'coz i can't find directsound output-bla-bla-bla... however, i found directsound output v2.2.6 (out_ds.dll)... are they the same?

j/k

thank's for the help!

I guess creative themselves are morons for having there PR man tell us that on there newsgroups.

OH well.

think what you want.

Any explanation then why on Audigy2 cards 24bit/32bit content had a lower SNR in tests than 16bit content? And that's also why the KS driver reports 32bit samples as preferred input on my Audigy2?

...had something else written here til i read your dvd audio comment....who is expecting 24 bit playback on a 16 bit file? You are saying 24 bit playback doesn't exist. You need to choose your words better and stop being a dick about everything.

Hrm, maybe I'm the biggest idiot in the world, but I could have swore I never saw it in any of the 2.x versions. I realize that it will output Artists - Title from the ID3 tags automatically, or it will just fetch the filename if no ID3 information is present, but I've never seen an option to customize which ID3 information is outputted. Again, I could be wrong.

    • Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.
    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
