winamp doesnt stay loaded

maxtech981 · 08-18-1999, 12:38 AM

I have winamp2.24 when I start up Windows98. I have the key pad plug-in and that works fine.
I load the my play list in winamp and whenever I reset the machine, the play list disappears.

Any suggestions?
TIA

In your StartUp folder, right-click on the WinAMP shortcut, and click properties. Change the "Target" to:

<tt>c:\winamp\winamp.exe playlist.m3u</tt>

Change <tt>c:\winamp\</tt> to wherever winamp.exe is, and <tt>playlist.m3u</tt> to whatever the name (and path) of your playlist file is. Now when Win98 starts, it will start WinAMP with the playlist file you specified preloaded. I hope this helps.

Simply put the playlist itself into the start menu of win9*. On boot up, win9* will call up winamp to play the playlist, foolproof method, works every time!

Mmm.. the man is right -- much better solution. I just finished installing WinAMP on my girlfriend's new computer. She'll be bootlegging in no time.
