I'm guessing the stereo panning for MODs is still buggy... ho hum...

[Spellsong]

Still not going to download a newer version until they get rid of that pure recall error that does not allow me to play most VG music.

[cibomatto2002]

Spellsong what is VG music Is it Video game music if so what kind are you wanting to play. Zach tell me more about this error you are talking about if you want

[Zach]

When I want to downmix a song with annoying stereo pings (left or right speaker for a specific sound only) so it plays mono in both speakers, sometimes the setting will not hold after I leave the options.

[Spellsong]

Anything type of plugin that specializes in a certain sound engine. SNES, Sega for example. It plays MP3s and other stuff fine.

[cibomatto2002]

Oh OK

Lately after 1-2 hour, my mouse cursor always stopped moving and need to restart. But after winamp 5.51 uninstalled it doesn't like that anymore (usually work with winamp playing some music). Now using 5.5 instead.
