Hello All,

This happens to me on multiple computers. I’ve tried both Winamp 5.0 and 5.5 and MediaMOnkey 2.5.5.998. Running XP SP2. If I have the Sansa Express plugged into computer and try to play any file through Winamp, winamp crashes out. Also, I get no audio out of MediaMonkey if I have the SE plugged in.

I found a workaround with Winamp by renaming pmp_p4s.dll, but this is not a viable option since it limits some of the functionality of the SE within winamp. I would blame winamp, but it screws up MediaMonkey, as well…

Seems to work okay in Windows Media Player 10+11…

Any help greatly appreciated…thnx much!

I’ve also exprienced this crashing with winamp. however the solution for it means absolutely no device support offered by winamp.  the issue seems to be a winamp issue and their implementation with portable device support.

visit this for a fix alternative: http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=express&thread.id=1507

however, once again, this removes winamp’s user support for portable devices (you won’t be able to sync / transfer music with winamp to your device).

hope that helps, or gives you some idea on how to maybe fix the problem.
