I'm using Windows 2000 and Winamp 2.76 and I've noticed a "click"
every time Winamp starts playing a new track when using mad plug-in.
There is no such problem with Winamp's default decoder. I think it's
somehow related to the caching algorithm. May be the default decoder
reads the beginning of the next track while finishing playing the
current one. Anyway even with the default decoder there are problems
with playing the track and using Windows Explorer under Windows 2000.

It's fantastic.

You don't even have to think to hear the diffrence - particularly with mp3s
encoded at a lower bit rate - they sound much much better.

Also if you can your Vortex 2 to accept 24bit it's even better.
