hmm, we are getting somewhere

Right click on the MM player and select Setup player. Go to Input plugins.
Is there a Nullsoft MPEG audio Decoder? If no, then go to your winamp
plugins folder and copy in_mp3.dll
Go to you mediamonkey dir (inside program files) and paste the file inside plugins folder.
Restart MM, choose In_mp3.dll as your input plug-in and give it a try

Hi,

when I right click on the player an select "configure input plugin" I get the message "Nothing to configure".

ok, i'll try

Ok, try this

Right click on the MM player and choose configure input plugin.
Go to streaming and use a bigger value at the stream buffer (default is 64k, i suggest you should try 128 or 256)

Hope that this would solve your problem

Hi,

I also tried using windows mediaplayer which seem to work fine for me.

Have you tried playing any of those files on winamp? Does it shows the same behavior?

Although i am not an MM developer it seems very unlikely that your problem lies on MM. I think is a network/connection related problem

Hi folks,

I use MM Gold for a few months and it is one of my most used programmes. I store my MP3 collection on a server and use MM on my Laptop, which is connected via WLAN. My old Laptop used a 11MBit WLAN connection and everything went fine. Now I switched my Laptop to a new HP Centrino 2GHz with 1 gig of RAM and a 54 MBit WLAN interface.

Since then I observe stange dropouts playing my mp3 music. Everything works fine, scanning my directories is working very fast, but when playing music files (all mp3 but different rates) the playback stops for a few seconds and continues. There are no other tasks using the WLAN connection at this moment and MM ist running at ~5% CPU power. I tried switching direct sound output to wave output, but no effect.
