Good idea, I'll try that.

Another thing. I was chatting with my friend Blake about it, and he says my theory about 44.1k versus 48k soundcard driver sampling rates doesn't seem to fit. If that were the problem, a 3.9khz per second difference should give us a difference of 468,000 samples after two minutes; i.e., 9.5 seconds worth instead of the half-second I observed. So that can't be it.

If WinAmp has this problem on a lot of systems (and I've seen some lyrics submitted to LRCDB which were clearly tagged by someone suffering from this problem, so I can safely assume I'm not the only one), I'm surprised that it's not being reported elsewhere. Google isn't showing anything. In fact, when I google it, the only relevant return is this very thread.

Think it might be some kind of cumulative rounding error?

Also, has anyone had experience with the latest WinAmp version? Should I try that instead of an older version?
