Unstable play back

Post by jcspirited »

Everything was fine till I updated flash player. It made itself default media play. Now when I play a track in media monkey it freezes up. Whit out a lot of explanation, it is very glitchy. Any info, help would be nice. Not to many, if any media players as good as media monkey.
I did make media monkey default player, didn't help

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I have Version: 4.1.13.1801 License: Standard Edition (Unregistered). I have ran the maintenance program too. The issue is with mp3 file. Wav file play stop, forward, revers, anything no problem. With a mp3, if I grab the progress line and drag it forwards it take a few seconds to start to play.
I use Media Monkey to practice songs. So if I want to back up and go over a portion of the song, or forward to another part of the song. I use the progress line to move to the part of the play back I need. When I do, it takes a few seconds to start to play. It really screws me up when I'm trying to play along.
Also, the audio files are not on the main hard drive C:. They are on a second drive. I have been using media monkey for a few years with no problem. It seems this start when I did an update to flash player. I have uninstalled flash player, no help.

Are the WAV files also on this second hard drive?

You can try a different Output Plugin (Tools > Options > Output Plug-ins) or a different MP3 solution: http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/inde ... le/View/99

The, all audio fills are on the same secondary drive. Media Monkey WASAPI output, out_WASPAI.dll is what Iv been using. I will try Media Monkey Direct Sound output, out_MMDS.dll. Kinda shouting in the dark, don't know the default or the best output to use.

Also, a window opens with media monkey, DeFX for Winamp. I changed skins and that comes with the skin. Don't use it don't what it. Is there any way to keep it from opening with media monkey?

That may be the problem. Disable it again in the MediaMonkey Options.
