Winamp Problem

[SkipToMy_Lou]

I started using Winamp bout last week and ever since I started using it I'm having a problem. I play a song and it never goes to the next song after that, it just stops and I gotta manually do it. This is really pissing me off, anyone know why it doesn't go to the next song ?

I have a playlist, so its not that I've only got one song there

Have you tried re-installing it?

Ive noticed alot of bugs in the newer winamps, which version do you use??

The new Winamp is REAL buggy and a resource hog compared to the old Winamp. You're better off installing the old version, I think it was 2.98, those that came BEFORE Winamp3. Winamp started to suck from version 3 and up.

You make me very suspiscious Mr. King.

Hackers exploit critical Winamp flaw
IT security experts have uncovered a critical vulnerability in the popular Winamp media player, which could be exploited by hackers to compromise a user's system.
Security expert Brett Moore, from Security-Assessment.com, published an advisory detailing the flaw. "The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the 'IN_CDDA.dll' file," it stated.

"This can be exploited in various ways to cause a stack-based buffer overflow, e.g. by tricking a user into visiting a malicious website containing a specially crafted '.m3u' playlist."
Yesterday the threat level of the flaw was raised to 'critical' after the discovery of a hacker exploit which takes advantage of the vulnerability. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, said Moore.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 5.05 and confirmed in version 5.06. Prior versions may also be affected, according to Moore, and the flaw has not been fixed in Winamp version 5.06 contrary to vendor statements.

The best workaround for the hundred of thousands of users of the media player is to disassociate '.cda' and '.m3u' extensions from Winamp.

I'm not those 'seedy' internet types Jae.
The version I recommended is really stable and isn't a resource hog because I use it to play BG music while playing other games and it works really well and it isn't susceptible to hacking, as far as I know, unless you download plug-ins, skins, and other add-ons from unknown sources. Winamp3 and above really is crap because it's trying to emulate Windows' Media Player. I think version 2.98 is the last version before Winamp3 and the programmers really planned out version 2.98 before making the leap of imitating Windows Media Player with Winamp3.
