Winamp forgets playlist info on windows shutdown

MarkusLadder · 19th November 2002, 16:36

Hi there,

it seems Winamp doesn't save newly created playlists when Windows is shut down without Winamp first being shut down. It does, however, if Winamp is closed first. This is on win xp professional.

Is this a real bug or is there just something wrong with my system ?

kind off like a bug. winamp3 needs to write all the changes to studio.xnf and since u shut down the computer i dun think winamp3 has the time to write to that file.

Hi,

I think the relevant calls need to be put into an event handler handling the call sent by Windows on system shutdown. There are other programs, i.e. ICQ or Office which handle stuff like that quite well, so it should be possible.

Would be nice if someone could look into that

Thanks!
