Unsuccessful installation of winamp

Maybe mpv would have worked with that movie, without having to support PotPlayer which used to bundle crap in their installer but I think it was removed after complaints. The scary part is that some people still install codec packs.. The same people probably look for adobe flash player, ad-aware and java to install on their brand new windows 11 computers. The most hardcore ones have a bunch of installers saved for a rainy day.

No need for this abomination of media player when better players like vlc, pot, mpc-hc exist. I massacred my Windows 11 install, butchered it into a bleeding redmond corpse by removing every preinstalled app etc etc. Of course Windows Media Player and Groove Music as well, both supergarbage at what they are supposed to do.

So, just for some laughs I tried this thing. Yeah right. This is just a combined skin on top of Groove and WMP disguised as a new player.

To play music there are like programs that do it better than this piece of dung, same thing with videos. Nobody needs this, and you can bet yo azz it will have more adware than actual features too. Yes it is. Look for the one with No thank you! After spending weeks updating my digital music collection with high-res album art to get rid of the super low-resolution album that WMP had saddled it with years earlier , I decided to give Groove Music player a try. It had deleted a large chunk of the updated album art and replaced with the crappy low-res art before I realized what it was doing and pulled the plug.

Never again. Its still the same featureless garbage with a new look. There are millions of other alternatives that are far more capable. Sad how far Microsoft as a software company has fallen. Even a third grader than write a better program. I use MediaMonkey…. How do you install the old Groove Player back after you try the new media player? There are plenty of better options when it comes to media players to use. Here are just a few of them. Is Winamp dead?

Is Winamp safe? I tested Winamp in VirusTotal and the file came out clean. But you will want to make sure that you download the software from the Winamp website. Does Winamp 5. Even though it was released before Windows 10, the program has no trouble running with Windows Can Winamp 5. Can you listen to podcasts on Winamp 5. Loaded Winamp. Cleared Media Library. Cleared playlist. See the "Watch Folders" tab under the Media Library options dialogue.

Closed Winamp 6. Installed plugin, opting to NOT run the inflac program uncheck that box thingy. Restart Winamp. Winamp should start up fine. You can now go ahead and re-load your media library, and re-opt to scan watch folders at startup if you wish.

If all has gone well, you will NOT have Winamp crashing at every startup now. This one is bigger and install more files. Keep up the great work! Crashes Winamp on startup with WinME. I didn't see anything that said it wasn't supposed to work with WinME. See the ogg-vorbis plugin for a nearly perfect example for what i mean. Excellent with one small glitch - Excellent - also works with Joonas' new dynamic library.

A nice update to the existing plugin - Can't argue with Media Library support.
