Hi,
I use WMP and i am trying to play my music from it while on a long route in Railworks 3, i think it may be that RW is interfering with with WMP as it plays a track ok while running in the Loco but will not change to the next track in the list in the Library but it plays all the tracks without RW running.
Has anyone any suggestions how i can fix this.
Any help would be appreciated,
Roger.

In all of its versions, TS has heavily taxed computer sound systems. You didn't describe your computer's sound resources, but I'll say anyway that although my system includes a very good sound card I would never try to play music (especially with WMP) and run TS simultaneously, no matter how entertaining the combination might seem. Let me suggest that you use a separate device to play music while driving trains.
Regards,

I use WMP whilst route building. Would go crazy if I couldn't.

Hi,
It must be Cos i'm old

but i thought after asking about WMP , as i use Youtube a lot to listen to music and depending the kind of music you like there are some video's on there an hour or two long so i have been using that with no problem with RW.
It was just that as i have ripped my CD's into WMP Library that seemed the way to go!
Cheers,
Roger.
