(Might have been because that file was open (and paused) in WinAmp, didn't notice until after the error, so it might have been a sharing error.)

I've been able to synch songs whilst playing them in WinAmp, so that might not be it.

In general, I've been impressed with WinAmp's ability to allow other things to open and read the file simultaneously. Winamp makes sure to open the file for reading only, and as long as the other app doesn't ask for a "write", the two programs can double-team the file quite nicely.

Depending on your system, it could be something more like WinAmp's playback or vis was grabbing too many cycles (or perhaps too many interrupts since the USB port is interrupt-driven)? Dunno much about this stuff, just shooting in the dark here.

Anyone else have more info on this?
