i like to use winamp and i did in win98. my cd roms are verry "sensitive" and i had "refreshing probs" with them in the earlyer versions of cw's software.
few months ago i tried to instal winamp in xp and then i found that my cd roms wont work properly again. i solve problem with full system reinstalation.
now i'm not sure that winamp was source of problem because it's possible that i did some other mistake.
but now i'm suspisious and afraid to instal winamp again
is it possible that winamp can make that kind of problems with cd's??
uf, i want to use a winamp again. specialy because of 24bit playback what still isn't possible with multy media player (if i'm right).

Do you have any CDs, with 24bit resolution?

i guess no?!

So why do you want 24bit resolution for playing back CDs?

Immanuel

no cd-s! i want to play 24bit wav-s! i mean from hard, but i'm afraid to instal winamp??

I doubt it's Winamp causing the troubles.... but I'm talking about the the 2.8x version (don't know about Winamp 3 but I see no reason to install the memory-eating v3 instead of proven 2.8x)
Of course there are no 24-bit audio CD's but Winamp plays 24-bit .WAV-files without any problem through the Creamware 24-bit wave-device. Makes winamp very handy to browse through recordings I believe Windows Media Player only does 16-but (of course! hehehe)

yes, it was 2.8!
i also found that winamp have some little distortion on few first milliseconds of wav and some strange feadback on the end - no metter 16 or 24bit?
wm player is much cleaner for me, but it's impossible to use for browseing 24bit samples

I checked the MediaPLayer 9.x release notes, doesn't say anything 'bout 24bit wav's either.
