Question about Winamp

I have a problem, since the latest few versions, Winamp doesn´t take focus when I open a .mp3 file. Do you all have the same behaviour, or is something wrong with my system?

 

I'm not certain what you mean by "Winamp doesn´t take focus". Is it that when you double-click on an MP3 file Winamp does not launch and play the file? If so you must change the file association settings on your system. There are several ways to do it, but I think the easiest is to make the change through Winamp's options.

 

Sorry, I should have been more clear, what I mean is, Winamp will of course play the file, but the window will not show up, I will have to launch it from the taskbar. Did nobody notice this? In older versions, the Winamp window showed up whenever you launched a file.

 

sounds peeeerfect to me. why u want winamp to interrupt u with window? start in taskbar is great imho. i perfer foobar anyway. i like minimalistic. not that winamp aint cool i luv xmms in linux which is based off winamp. my dad & mum use linux. its just ok to me but they make me learn it. i dont really liek hacking configing files to make things work. my dad is really good though and he teach me lots.

check settings or ask @ http://forums.winamp.com/ . sorry if my language is poor. im just young. no diss-respect. ;-)

bestests regards.

What if you want to quickly seek inside those music files? And besides, if the window shows up it´s no problem since it disappears as soon as you click on the screen.

 

Did you look in 'Options' 'Preferences" and check the 'General Preferences'. There is the option to either show WinAmp in the taskbar or system tray. I can't help much because all the settings WinAmp has really gets me confused.

 

Can´t believe this sh*t! I´m so fed up with this annoyance that I decided to look for a replacement, and I found AIMP which looks quite cool, but it works exactly the same! Perhaps I should switch to VU Player, I think it might be the best choice for now.
