Warning: I'm guessing this is possibly a techie question, since I can't find any way to solve it despite continued browsing through winamp.com's FAQs and forums, nor through repeated random clickings in the program's various options.
When songs change in Winamp, it does a fade-out-fade-in thing that, inexplicably, annoys the hell out of me. Does anyone know how to turn it off?

I have winamp 3. I turned it off by going to file-options. It says crossfader at the bottom.. It shouldn't fade-out-fade-in if that's unchecked.

There should be a button with a black X and a green square. If you hold your mouse over it, it says "Toggle Crossfading Between Tracks." I'm pretty sure that's what you want to press.

I'm not sure about the versions, but here's what I'd do.
Second button on the top (from the right), Options->Prefrences->Audio->DirectSound Unlick "Enbale Audio fades..."

I have WinAmp 2.91, since I've heard WinAmp 3 has problems (according to CNet). I've gone through the instructions another three times, but I can't find whatever it is you're talking about. Gah. Thanks for the help, dudes. Maybe I'll just upgrade and take my chances with W3.

Why go with winamp 3 when you can try Winamp 5 beta? Edited to add smilies because I never use them.

To disable crossfading, hit ctrl+p, click on output(under plug-ins), click on DirectSound output, click configure, click on "on start", unclick Enabled, do this with the other four options as well.
If this doesn't work, kick your computer until it does work, don't do something rash like "upgrade" to Winamp 3, I shudder just thinking about that evil program.

I downloaded Winamp 3, used it for about five minutes, then went back to using 2.64.
I wouldn't call it evil...just useless.

My main problem with Winamp 3 is that it takes too long to load, also, there seemed to be less options for tweaking. The only thing I really liked about it was that the base skin looked pretty good. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I REALLY hate that program.

Eh, the base skin was okay. I've gotten used to a skin called "Simple and Plain Blue", though, and it wasn't compatible with W3.
The only thing I did like about it was the video player. I still use that occasionally.
But for music, I enjoy the sweet simplicity of the old version. They should leave well enough alone with audio and build a video player. I don't like all-in-one players. I like to open Winamp and see my music playlist, not have it reset every time I change mediums.

looking at my previous post, I think I used words that were too strong. I didn't love the base skin, but it was okay, I didn't feel the absolute need to change skins the way I do when I see winamp 2. I never tried the video support for the same reason that you don't like winamp 3, I don't like all-in-one media players, I totally agree with you on the simplicity of W2 being much better, I also think you have a good idea with the seperate video player. The short version: I agree.
