Winamp takes a long time to change audio tracks
This is a discussion about Winamp takes a long time to change audio tracks in the Windows Software category; Hello, (I've used the search ) I have a weird Winamp problem. Whenever I change a cd-audio track in Win2k it takes ages for winamp to switch tracks. It's almost like inserting a new CD. I'm running Win2k final release, CEL400@450, 128mb, and Pioneer DR-A015.
Hello, (I've used the search )
I have a weird Winamp problem. Whenever I change a cd-audio track in Win2k it takes ages for winamp to switch tracks. It's almost like inserting a new CD. I'm running Win2k final release, CEL400@450, 128mb, and Pioneer DR-A015. This is quite annoying because it completely freezes my computer while it's changing tracks. Hopefully someone can help! Maybe suggest another Cd-player (not the Win2k one)...
Thanks!

I can recommend Notify CD ( http://www.artech.se/~mlt/software/).
CDDB-compatible and sits in the tool-tray.

Now I have a further problem. Whenever I insert a CD Winamp tries to autoplay it. Even after I disable "autoplay audio cds" in winamp prefs. And on top of this, Mp3decoder starts to load numerous sessions when I insert a CD. I dont know if this is related to Winamp or MP3decoder. I suppose it's something to do with Winamp since MP3Decoder does not have any "autoplay" features. Any thoughts on that anyone?
Thanks.
Thanks.
You might try disabling AutoPlay for audio cd's using Tweak UI for Windows 2000. Just uncheck the Play Audio CDs Automatically option under the Paranoia tab. If you don't have TweakUI you can get it at:

Many of the solutions are so simple! I just figured out why my cd-rom was so slow to change cd audio tracks with Winamp (and some other players).
In device manager, in cd-rom properties, there's an option "Enable Digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device". For some reason, it was disabled by default?! Anyhow, after enabling it, my audio cds now behave as they should!
