I installed GTalk 1.0.0.104 today, upon enabling GPRS and had Winamp 5.54 installed earlier.So I was in for a shock (which I had suffered earlier, but was expecting it to be solved) when I set my status message to “Currently playing Music Track”.

GTalk just hangs up, and consumes almost all CPU!But fear not!

The mandarins of technology (or should I say Geekville) found a workaround : All you need to do is create an empty playlist in your Winamp install folder (usually in the “/Program Files/Winamp” folder) and voila!!

And all is well in Geekville!

This thread helped me out!
