I am wondering if its just my system or not, but i have this like SUPER LONG playlist that i let Winamp Pro play randomly. The mp3's are like 128kbps to 192kps on average but in my cpu usage it ranges from 50% up while playing the music....is this frickin normal. I don't like it, seems it shouldn't take so much cpu use to play mp3's. It tends to go up in higher kbps songs. I'm using the Stu 003 A3d out put plug in.
