Lately I noticed that most music I played showed up as being “mono” in WinAMP. Today I clicked on some music and it opened Mediaplayer (for some unknown reason, since it should have opened WinAMP, but hey, it’s Windows). The music was in stereo. I closed Mediaplayer (just don’t like it) and started WinAMP. The same file played in mono.
I opened the options dialog to look whether I accidently configured something in a way it shouldn’t but could not find any anomaly. So whilst downloading the latest version (5.32) of WinAMP I uninstalled the current (5.0x). I left the skins directory intact, but removed everything else the uninstaller could not remove (mainly the plugins directory).
After installing the new version, WinAMP plays stereo again. Very strange.
