Haven't been around here in a while. Sorry to hear about your computer 'woes'. Usually, when something like that happens to me - I just reformat. I have everything that is important to me backed up to another partition. So, I lose nothing. Heh. Oh and, heh. I like your little quote. "I'm a Canadian - like an American but without a gun." I'll just assume that it's in jest and you do not actually believe all Americans have guns. Though I do. Heh. - Steven

"stop downloading mp3's that that riaa reedited to have those gaps to annoy users?" Well Jay unfortunately for you, (unfortunate because now you look like an ***), I don't download music from the internet illegally. I either purchase the CD from a retail store and rip it myself, or I will download the music online legally - as most of the bands whom I listen to allow their live music to be freely distributed on websites such as nugs.net and archive.org So basically, yeah - that was a foolish assumption to make. Heh. It's a problem with winamp, not the songs themselves. - Steven

Well I've tried everything, and nothing has yet worked. I posted a new thread at the winamp forums. I'll see what they have to say about it.

TPG, Thanks, I changed it to DirectSound, I'll test it out a little while later as I'm a bit busy right now. Thanks a lot for all of your help, I'll let you know how it all goes. - Steven

TPG, Sorry! I'm an idiot, heh. It's enabled when the music is playing. Here is what the screen looks like, does anything look funny to you? - Steven

TPG, I uninstalled Winamp and reinstalled it, I'm still having playback issues (still skipping). I followed your directions but it appears to me that neither waveOut nor DirectSound is enabled. I hit 'configure' on each one and under 'status display' each one says 'not active'. Hmmmm. - Steven

I'll look into it. Sounds like it might be a good read.

Thanks TPG! I'll give that a try, first I uninstalled Winamp, and will reinstall it when I find the time. If it still stutters I will try to do what you've suggested. Thanks again! - Steven

Hello everyone, I'm still loving these PM 2.1's! Heh. Anyways, I'm having a problem with 'stuttering' - some of you may know what I am talking about. Now, I thought I was noticing some stuttering - and now I'm sure of it! I was listening to a song in Winamp, and browsing looking at wallpapers (customize.org). Suddenly, the music just turns off for like a full second, I thought the song stopped! Then it started playing again! Yikes! Intrigued, I left the computer alone and let Winamp play. No stuttering. Then I starting browsing the website again. "Crash int..." ... "...o me! Crash into me!" Dave Matthews just cuts out on me! lol! So I close Winamp and fire up Windows Media Player. I browsed the same website, browing wallpapers - same way nothing changed, and not a single stutter! After some Googling, I found others with a stuttering problem that applied to all media players, Winamp included but not specifically. And the resolutions were all different for them. Reinstalling the drivers, setting Winamp as a higher priority in XP, etc. So what do you guys think? Has anyone here had that problem before with Winamp, specifically? Hmmm. - Steven

http://www.soundwise.org/mods/cablemod/cablemod2.htm I'm following that tutorial. Will probably make them Saturday or Sunday when my fahter is off from work.

Heh, I won't buy from Monster Cable anyways. I was going to purchase the upgrade kit - but not anymore. I purchase the Radio Shack 16G speaker wire (50ft spool), the 2 golden 1/8" mini phone plugs, and some solder. I'll make my own speaker cables. I would never support a company like Monster Cable.

From what I am told, No they haven't sued anyone yet. But they have threatened to sue baseball teams, tv shows, etc.

Yeah, actually it does look like a dent from a BB gun...

DGB, I know exactly what Queen song you are talking about. It can be found at this website: http://www2.memlane.com/jmilner/stairwaybackwards.htm And that sounds pretty cool, reversing the hubs of cassettes so they would play backwards. EDIT: Can you explain how this is done? Sounds interesting...
