What to do if you get this error when starting AtomixMp3 2.1:
"Can't find ws2_32.dll"?

Go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WUAdminTools/S_WUNetworkingTools/W95Sockets2/Default.asp and download the patch (it's called W95ws2setup.exe).
Try to launch the file. Now you can run AtomixMp3 2.1 without any problems (normally ;))
If it gives an error, just press OK. Start WinZip (I used 8.0, dunno about other versions) and open the file W95ws2setup.exe. Extract all the files to a temp folder (I used c:/windows/desktop/ws, but you can take another if you want to). Go to the folder where you unzipped the files, and rename "ws2_32.dlx" to "ws2_32.dll" (without the quotes). Now select all the files in that directory, except the file called "setup.exe" (you can just destroy that one). Copy all these files, and go to the directory "c:/windows/system". Paste all the files here. Windows is going to ask if you want overwrite some files. I always chose "No", you can choose "Yes", but I can't assure you that your PC will still run after it ;).
If all the files are pasted, restart your computer, and run AtomixMp3 2.1.

Enjoy!!!

Greetz, ikke
