Sounds interesting.
I take it that it is the PHP script that stops (not the winamp player)!? Looks like
you are running into
problems with the script execution time limit. Herewith a couple of theories:
1 what happens if you specify that the winamp is to run in its own cmd shell - will
control return to PHP
'immediately'?
2 if the problem is time-out, and you can only play one .mp3 at a time, so looping to
'the next' must be
dependent upon the preceding track finishing first, what happens if you adjust the
set_time_limit to 0/no limit?
