The currently playing file takes up ram when it is playing. Once that file
is done, the next song is loaded into memory for playing. The cycle repeats
itself every time a new file is playing.]

I won't go in depth here, because this teeters on the borders of off topic,
but music files don't actually take up ram. Ram is what allows the processor
to perform the tasks the programs are instructed to do. The music files take
up space on the hard drive, if that is what you were pointing towards, but
the files themselves have nothing directly to do with the ram.
Sincerely,
Robert Robinson

>>> Hi List,
>>> Now here's one I bet you haven't heard of for a while if at all.
>>> Recently, I have been putting together large folders of 100 files or
>>> more.
>>> I tried to make a playlist in these folders in the way that has worked
>>> for
>>> me as far back as I can remember.
>>>
>>> 1. Using a folder/path utility such as copy Pat, copy the names of all
>>> the files into clipboard;
>>> 2. Paste the contents of the clipboard into a text editor and save the
>>> file with an M3U extension;
>>> 3. place the file into the folder with the 100 plus files;
>>> 4. press enter on the M3U file and Presto! the files play in the order
>>> in
>>> which they appear in the M3U file.
>>>
>>> However, I can honestly say that I have never tried this in all my years
>>> of doing so with large numbers of files. Usually, the maximum is about
>>> 15
>>> to 20. I just tried this during the time I've been playing around with
>>> the 100 Plus files and it works like a charm. However, when I try this
>>> with 100 files or more, 2 things happen--neither one good.
>>>
>>> 1. Winamp launches, but is silent;
>>> 2. after I close Winamp, a process called Winamp.exe still remains
>>> active
>>> and nothing will play in Winamp until I manually end this process with
>>> Windows Task manager.
>>>
>>> So my question is: is there a limit to the size of playlists that Winamp
>>> can handle? If so, what is it? Is it dependent on either the character
>>> size of the playlist--or perhaps the size of the files in MB's on the
>>> storage medium?
>>>
>>> Thanks in advance.
