Ever since my migration to Windows 8.1 I have a problem that got me mind boggling and i just can not seem to solve.
I have already asked this question on the Winamp forums but before we could analyze better there, the forums went down (due to their company merger) .
I did a clean installation of Windows 8.1 a few months ago.
Then I installed all my apps and manually migrated settings of all the software i use ( from a Windows 7 image ) . I also did this for Winamp .
Everything works 100% since the installation, but when using Winamp the ' current' playlist which the program automatically creates sporadically will not save!
After opening a random number of times, the playlist disappeared spontaneously thus winamp was started with an empty playlist.
This means i can load my recursive playlist each time i start Winamp ( very frustrating with 50K + mp3's ).
I can not think of any software that is installed on my PC which could affect this situation (I don't use a separate antivir. Just Windows Defender).
What I've done so far:
- Uninstalled Winamp. Removed the settings folder. Reinstalled Winamp.
- No additional plugins / addons or whatever installed for winamp .
- Double checked and forced the read-only flag on the winamp user data folder (to make sure the playlist can be saved/written).
The settings folder is in the following location : C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\
The current playlist is saved as : Winamp.m3u and Winamp.m3u8
Does anyone here have any idea how I can fix this problem?
