Winamp playback is distorted - Fixed it

Times like these where your documents are not the only affected files in your computer. Even the music files you have are in 100% possibility. Okay, after I suffered from the Windows Media Player flashcodec problem, another problem was bothering me for few weeks. My Winamp player plays my Mp3 (Wav and AVI are not affected) files but distorted and fast (a very very strange playback). And after a long week of finding a solution, I finally found one that is effective and perfect.

The genius behind the solution is the FS-MP3Fix program. It's lightweight about (3mb in RAR file) and it saved all of 4K Mp3 files I have in my hard disk. So how was this done?

1. First, I downloaded the file FS-MP3Fix.

2. After downloading the file, extract it to the folder where all of the affected music files are. So you should have the folder FS-MP3Fix which contains ffmpeg (that looks like a MS-DOS based program), FSMP3-Fix (this is the program that we are going to use) and a DLL file named pthreadGC2.dll.
3. But, we need those three files to be paste in to the folder where the music are, because the program will only read the directory where the music are in. If it finds no Mp3 files, the program will never work. So, paste the three (3) files in the folder where your Mp3s are.
4. Okay, let's get it started. Open the FSMP3-Fix program.
5. You will see a DOS-based window and you have to choose which language are you going to use (English or Spanish) or just exit the program. So, we choose English (and don't ask me why) which is no. 2.
   
6. You are going to be asked if you want to continue the fixing of your Mp3 files (of course) that these actions are not reversible (well, if you want that strange playback to continue then why are you reading this, peace).
   
7. Okay, after pressing Enter key, the program starts working. You will see the process of calculating bitrates of your Mp3 files and you'll be amazed that there are files created in the folder of your music files with _FS name at the end. If in case, the program does not stop working (which is always my problem) press and hold q to stop duplicating other copies again. The program create three duplicate copies which is a headache for me. If you find _FS okay, then remove the songs with added filename with _FS_FS and FS_FS_FS, because they are all the same.
8. Then, play it on the Winamp, voila! Your favorite Mp3 files are saved at last.
