EDIT: getting the zip now..

whatever zip application you used is NOT unicode compliant -- the file unzipped completely messed up (see image). You did the right thing we want (FOLDER+SONG) but the zip application messed it up. Maybe you want to try the WINDOWS compressed folder instead (or an application that works with unicode (7z) and post again, thanks!

Just two questions here,
WHy is RR trying to support so many different audio players?
What is wrong with sticking with winamp?

Well, I for one don't like Winamp. It's buggy as hell. And this, 2.95, 5.13 requirements are silly. Every new version solves a ton of bugs, and the next one introduces another.

For what it's worth, I have never, with many versions, had an issue one with WinAmp, never.
Now, with RRVoiceControl, I am pounding on it, newest WinAmp version, and it is rock solid...
That link is not just for WinAmp bug's. It is a support page. Plugins and all. An author that provides that much support for thier product is awesome. WinAmp is the most robust audio player out there. RR's primary support should be for WinAmp, IMO

I agree 500% I have used winamp 5.13 for almost 2 years on two different PC's (one test rig and the car pc itself). I never had the need to uninstall it. I have had not one problem with it or any release of RR with the exception of the 8-1-09 when the resume functions were hosed which was not winamp's fault. I've ran numerous plugins some decent, some great, and one bad (<--which I stepped in and wrote my own personal alternative) but winamp has never failed me. I've done everything to it but hit it with a sledge hammer and it keeps working. However it seems that the corporate approach is being taken on things that are not broken lately. Like I have seen Enforcer post so many times, and also my mentor has always told me... If it works, leave it alone! There is nothing wrong with having alternatives, but still... If it works, leave it alone!

there is NO REQUIREMENT of 2.95 or 5.13
THAT IS NUTS

USE THE NEWEST WINAMP, its fine... and if its buggy, they are obscure bugs, and one thing for sure, the WINAMP dev team, is continously working on winamp
gets updated often...

keep in mind 5.13 is does NOT support unicode
and not UAC compliant!!!

Kindly try again!

PS1. Seems like the ID3 Tag is normal in your system~
PS2. My system Config. T-Chinese XP SP3

looks fine here too...
i got control panel settings for non unicode programs on ENGLISH of course
using WMP. so that winamp's tags are not involved
set RR to perfer ID2 tags
