[Those of you who run Win2k and have an SB Live...]

Iamyourzero:

I think this problem stems from the newer version of Winamp, not you OS, mobo, etc. I had a similiar problem (the skipping ahead, not the scratces and pops) and it turned out that the version of Winamp I had (2.71) had a problem with files encoded with a certain codec.

My advice:

a.) Comb Winamp.com's message board and try to find a patch (that's what I did and it works fine now).

b.) Try to find an older version of Winamp and see if that corrects the problem.

c.) Use Sonique.
