Winamp 5.601 EXE Download Free: Troubleshooting Crashes with nde.dll

Are you experiencing crashes with Winamp 5.601 during music scanning, specifically at stage 4/4? You're not alone. After running into this issue myself, I've discovered a few troubleshooting steps that might help resolve the problem.

Initially, I ran the 'mp3val' tool on my library to ensure there were no strange characters in file names. However, the crashes persisted. Upon further investigation, I noticed that Winamp crashed at stage 4/4 every time, with the error message mentioning nde.dll (on older versions of Winamp, it mentions msvcr90.dll instead).

To troubleshoot this issue, I deleted the three files created by Winamp during the scan process (cddbplm.pdb, cddbplm.idx, and cddbplm.gcf) between each attempt. This allowed me to successfully initialize the program, but the crashes continued.

Here's a summary of my experience: I imported music into Winamp, then scanned while keeping my computer idle. Unfortunately, it crashed again. The only plugin installed was the official last.fm plugin. To rule out any other factors, I performed a complete fresh install of Winamp, removing all traces of the previous version before upgrading.

Upgrading to the latest version of Winamp didn't solve the issue initially. However, some users were recommended to upgrade in response to my initial post. If you're experiencing similar problems with Winamp 5.601, I hope these troubleshooting steps help resolve your crashes and ensure a smoother music listening experience.
