    Music player for Windows ME
    « on: January 06, 2008, 03:35:47 AM »
    I just deleted my Winamp music player on my Windows ME because it wasn't working, but I can't download the new one because it doesn't work with ME. Yeah yeah I know it's time to upgrade but right now I just need to know if anyone has some suggestions as to which music player I should use or where I should go to download some that are compatible with my Windows ME. My windows media player doesn't work...and real player doesn't either. So I need to find another way to listen.

    Cheers!

    Why won't your WMP and Real player work? Is that an issue you want to correct?

    You can download any older version of WinAmp from here:
    http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=winamp

    Scroll down through the list. I think the last version that supported ME was 3.0

    Using Win98SE here.

    Some bits of information, for whatever they are worth:

    Not all that long ago,  I went to:
    http://forums.winamp.com/search.php
    That's the search page for the Winamp forum.

    Searched for Windows 98.

    Got lots of hits.

    Read some.

    Learned that newer versions of Winamp no longer support Win98.   :(
    But!   ... also read many comments indicating which of the old versions would run under '98.
    Saw ver 5.35 mentioned.

    But also read that ver 5.24 was the last to support Win98.
    Can't remember just why,  but I felt that 5.24 was the one to go with.
    Probably from more reading there.

    Went to Winamp Heaven.
    http://www.winampheaven.net/old.php?major=5
    Downloaded v.5.24

    Installed.
    It works fine.
    I don't use it much, and have never really experimented with all its many functions...   I can say that I can load an .mp3 in it, and it comes out of the speakers.   :)

    I think that if this version works under '98,  it should also work under ME.
    Or, you could visit that forum,  and search for comments from others that are using ME, and see which they are using.

    I hope this helps.
