From: kraut on 26 May 2010 09:32 Can someone explain the diff between WinAmp and WinAmp Lite? I do not play music, listen to internet radio, watch movies on computer. I just want something to play simple WAV or MID files I have on system or I run accross. I have WAV files set to use Windows sound recorder which is all it does is play WAV files and is small and simple. The list of features for the "full" version includes stuff I have never heard of such as or have any idea how to do: Buy tickets, find lyrics & download music directly from your media player Windows 7 Compliant Winamp OrglerTM lets you track, chart and share your Winamp listening history iTunes Library Import Find & manage Add-ons directly in your media player Available in 16 languages including Turkish, Romanian & Brazilian Portuguese

Before doing so, delete any plugins with "grace" in the name from the plugin directory. []'s

Last time I deleted something because someone told me to and I did not ask why my system crashed.

IIRC, the lite version did not have support for some types of files; "Juice", for example. For what you want, I'd just get an old Winamp version, pre-"library"...2.5 or 2.6x. http://www.oldversion.com/Winamp.html -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

It's a phone-home module, if you do not care about privacy, just leave it there. []'s http://www.gracenote.com/company_info/FAQ/FAQs/ > |
