This affects versions 5.02 and BELOW so lots of players affected.

Fix without having to upgrade
"If for some reason it is impossible to download the updated version of
Winamp, the vendor has informed NGSS that it is possible to disable the
handling of Fasttracker 2 module files by taking the following steps:
1. Right click the Winamp player, go to 'Options' and then to
'Preferences...'.
2. In the new window which loads, go to 'Plug-ins' and 'Input'.
3. Look for the input plug-in items 'Nullsoft Module Decoder' and double
click it to bring up the 'Nullsoft Module Decoder Preferences' window.
4. Select the 'Fasttracker 2' loader and deselect the 'Enabled' checkbox to
the right of the loaders list.
5. Close all of the option windows and return to the main player." |
I just did the fix without upgrading and it was easy to do. |
