Thread: CrystalBlue Skin

My System:
In case it matters I am using WinAMP 5.3 and the RoadRunner.exe modified with MatrixPC's version 10/30 auto switch for IGuidance and Voice Direction. XPsp2 Pro running on a Shuttle SN41G2/Athlon 2600/1GB RAM using onboard NFORCE2 sound
Symptoms:
When I used this skin my playlist would not proceed to the next song. Even when I switched to another skin it would halt after one song. Restarting RR would fix it until I used the CrystalBlue skin at which point it would halt after one song played.
Bug Found:
The issue was with the CrystalBlue skin directory's ExecTBL.ini which read the following:
"ONSONGSTART", "PLAY||SETVARBYCODE;SONGTITLE;TRACKNAME||SAY;$SONG TITLE$||PLAY"
Solution:
Changing this line per GUINO's recommendation note in another thread to:
"ONSONGSTART", "WAIT;2||PLAY||SETVARBYCODE;SONGTITLE;TRACKNAME||S AY;$SONGTITLE$||PLAY" solved the issue.

I wore out the search button and have a bit less hair after t-shooting this one.. I even re-installed three separate versions of WinAMP and 2 of RR. The WAIT;2 gives enough time so that good track info is present on the next song for the announcement otherwise the player chokes and goes into permanent pause. Hopefully this post can save someone some smoked brain cells. BTW - the voice song announce is a great feature.

Hi Critter thanks to use my skin and to have chosen this thread to let us know where the problem were!
I understood the problem was there, but I simply removed the feature to pause the music during "saying song" and wait for the future release to fix it, when I plan to care the voice more than I did in this one...
Anyway best before than after .
Thanks

PS:I want to let you know that I'm playing with NaviVoice since I started my project and that I want to add some commands to drive this fantastic software from my skin!!!
