Winamp 5 + Ogg

Hi,

ever since I've upgraded from WinAmp 2.81 to 5 (5.03), I cannot play my oggvorbis files anymore. I think I encoded them with the official encoder, not the GT3 one.

Is this a known problem?

Thx

Vorbis support is optional in the Winamp install and might not be installed with the typical install. Re-install winamp, choose custom install and select vorbis support. Then the world will be well again.

That's the weird thing:

the vorbis decoder is installed (Nullsoft Vorbis Decoder v1.35)

Have you tried a "clean" installation (using a completely new directory to install winamp)? Perhaps there´s a 2.x/5.x file collision (wild guess).

Files encoded with GT3 are 100% Vorbis compatible.

Actually, I made a clean Windows and WinAmp install yesterday. Still not working.

Thx anyway

(it worked with the 2.81 vorbis plugins in the 5 plugin directory, but there must be another way)

Your Vorbis files have ID3 tags on them.  From Winamp 2.90+ Winamp will not play Ogg Vorbis files with ID3 tags since that is wrong.  You can strip them out using Tag and a few other programs.

I threw Id3v1 on ogg files... played back fine in Winamp. The only reason I did it was so Kazaa would read track information.

ID3v2 breaks them, wasn't sure if ID3v1 did or not.
