lol, idk wtf happened but wmp takes 100% cpu usage now in vista when playing mp3's (avi's and the such take up little usage). if i use mpc it drops down to 5-10% or something of that nature. wtf is going on? someone seen this and/or know how to fix besides using mpc? i want to use wmp and not mpc for my music! suggestions?
i do not have this problem in vista
maybe disable some items in tools/options
thats one of the rare situation, not every time you run it. apparently it happens when you move your mouse while watching movie or listening music(in my case it happened when i was listening music).
it happened to me a couple of times, probably will be fixed in SP.
Just ues VLC player and ur set to go.
on vista VLC cuts off the Aero feature if you use it to play video.
Not for me, if config right
That's good then.Quote:

not for me either, and i have not configured anything although i have transparency disabled...
vista sucks .. :|
like stated above. i want to use wmp for my mp3's. not anything else. i've googled this matter and A LOT of ppl have had this prob, but mostly in XP. maybe no one has started a complaint with vista in this matter. idk. it's pissing me off though. i notice when i'm @ 100% too. shit starts to sssllllooowww down... :(Quote:

anway, where the hell is the crossover fade in/out option located in winamp? can't find it. don't have to have it, but i prefer to have that option enabled.
Seems like the build-in option isn't working too good.Quote:

The build-in option is located in: preferences > output in plugins > DirectSound output > configure > fading tab > and select "on end of song" > check enabled.
Hope this helps you :)
awesome. works like a champ. thank u so very much!
wmp is for chumps you could alternatively use winamp which is a good music player, and the new version packs a kickass theme.
simplicity is what they dont offer, wmp has it all and its simple.Quote:
