Lustalbert Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 The scenerio: I have 3 computers in my appartment using microsoft networking. My main machine that all my music and videos are on: amd 2k xp running win xp pro my living room: amd k62 300 running win 98 se my roomies comp: amd k62 200 running win 98 se all the computers can see each other perfectly fine, and can comunicate perfectly fine The problem: i use winamp on my living room computer to play music on my system in the living room. I create a playlist and it plays fine for the most part, but ocosinally it will "forget" where the files are. it will just skip around the playlist and not play anything. I am still able to play files from my main when this happens, just that the saved playlist wont work. Any sugestions/fixes? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I had this same problem. I used to access my harddrive on my computer from computers around campus in the labs that had speakers on them. I didn't do it often enough to figure out the problem, ya know, when other people are in the lab it's kinda rude to play music (I wouldn't, but of course there were other people who would ). I would just clear the playlist and readd the songs. Lol, that was alot of help. tongue.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 what version of winamp are you using ? Have you tried a new version or a different program like music match. doesnt sound likea network problem but more of a program problem.

Nate1647545505 Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 you have to edit the playlist file So....with Winamp 3. something A playlist that you create on your Main box is something like this: ?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8' standalone="yes"? WinampXML !-- Generated by: Nullsoft Winamp3 version 3.0d playlist num_entries="1" label="Playlist 001" entry Playstring="file:C:\Media\Rock-Alternative-Punk\Linkin Park-Numb.mp3" Linkin Park - Numb Length>187588</Length </entry </playlis </WinampXML main thing to focus on here is the path of the file: entry Playstring="file:C:\Media\Rock-Alternative-Punk\Linkin Park-Numb.mp3 it will point to C:\media\rock blah blah, on the computer you play it from, thus it goes whacky and you dont get your bumps. change the "c:\" to "\\COMPUTERNAME\Shared music folder\" that points it to the network sharename so you can play it from anywhere on the local network provided you have dns or netbios and some other crazy shit. moral of the story, change that to this. peace.

Guest tr0s Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 i used to do that back when i went to wju, i'd access the files off my comp through the network and play 'em on other computers... never used the playlists (still don't) but i've always used winamp since it was ver. 1.0 or something and never had a problem.

Nate1647545505 Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 are you using DHCP from a router? Using WINS or static IPs might solve this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
