More Winamp stuff A.J. Griglak Tue, 29 Feb 2000 14:40:35 -0500

I've found a better crossfading plug in than the one I previously shared.
It's ten times better.

For those of you that missed it, this plug-in for winamp will start playing
song 2 before song 1 is finished, so you can sound like a radio station.

It turns out that it was a combination of the memory leak error that was
fixed in the latest beta, and the fact that I was using the outdated E.EXE
instead of EDM.EXE.  Over the past two days of playing Winamp (not
continuously, but enough) I've had one lockup that was caused by one of my
EDM parsing routines.

As far as the VOLUP5, I think that's a great idea.  I think 5 is a good
number, because it takes about 5 VOLUPs to notice a difference.  Of course,
we could do the same thing by making an ECS event to send the VOLUP command
5 times, but I think that might cause problems by starting so many DOS
sessions at the same time.
