Winamp causing PC freeze / lag when changing tracks / radios
Posted: Sun Nov 04, 2012 1:18 am
Issue:
Winamp freezes up whole computer when changing tracks or SHOUTcast stations.
Whenever there is connection error, sometimes winamp freeze up so bad, that only option is pressing the "reset" button on PC.
also whenever playing very short tracks (1-3 seconds), then whenever winamp is set to repeat that track, it freezes up and you have to press "reset"
ive had this issue for quite a while now. it keeps doing that and is extremely annoying.
Fix:
there is no actual fix for this, it seem to be happening only on newer version of winamp
clean install winamp 5.51 or below this version and it should work fine.
i installed 5.51 and it changes radio stations instantly, without producing any kind of lag at all.
