When you activate "Show Current Music Track" in Gtalk while using Windows media player or Winamp 5.5 or higher versions, your Google Talk will freeze or stop responding.
To overcome this problem there are two different methods, one for
each type of player.
Note: Remember to close both Winamp or Media Player and Google Talk when doing this.
For Winamp 5.5 or Higher Versions :
- Go to the root directory of Winamp (Usually in C:\Program Files\Winamp)
- Select Tools -> Folder Options -> View (Tab)
- Uncheck the hide extensions for known file types and click Ok.
- Create an empty file (Right click -> New -> Text document)
- Name the file "winamp.m3u" and save.
For Windows Media Player :
If this problem occurs in Windows Media Player( WMP) it just needs an
activation of the plugin.
- Go to the Now Playing in your player.
- Select Plugins -> Options
- In the window select Plugins -> Background on the left side
- Select Google Talk Music Plugin
- Click OK and you are done.
