HAY GUYS

I've tried Winamp several times in the last few years, but always end up going back to WMP. I'm trying to switch to Winamp permanently now, but there are a few issues that maybe someone can help with:

1. Every time I close the player an error pops up: The instruction at "0x534534534" referenced memory at "0xelkjrhshr342". The memory could not be "read." Why the hell is this happening?

2. What happened to different filetypes? Any file that's associated with Winamp is now a "Winamp media file." Explorer status bar, file properties, tooltip rollovers all say this... now how do I determine whether a file is an .avi, .mp3, .mid, .mpg, .mp4, .wav, etc? Oh and I don't want to disable hide file extensions for known file types just for this.

Also, the player isn't playing video for .mp4s. Does Winamp need a special codec that WMP is hoarding or something?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I only want one player for all media files. Foobar doesn't play video, does it?

I already had it disabled. Why does it mess with the type of file in the first place? I mean that's extremely inconvenient.

I reinstalled, yeah, still getting that error.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'd really rather use Winamp. I fixed the closing error. I just want to know why it eliminates file types and if it's possible to get Explorer to tell me which are which.

Is there virtually no way to determine which of these files are midis, wavs and mp3s? Winamp (and therefore Windows Explorer) now considers them all of the same type of file!

Edit:
Since they're all considered the same file type, I can't even go into Explorer > Folder Options > File Types > Advanced and manually change it; if I were to specify the .mid extension is a MID file type instead of Winamp Media File, that would change .mp3 and .wav extensions to MID file types too.
Is this something only I am frustrated with? Why does this behavior even exist?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yes.

With the proliferation of PanelsUI and ColumnsUI configurations, it's relatively painless to customise the player.

Yeah I looked at this and was pretty baffled, to be honest. I don't know what those are, and couldn't find anything referring to them in any of the player's preferences. Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows how to customize the thing? It looks all code-based.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Okay, I will see what I can learn. Thanks.

Ooooooooh so badass.

I was speaking idiomatically.
