Hello, jad3on!

You question may be not appropriate here (its a dotnet NG).

But, nevertheless, I'll try to help you :)

What codecs are installed on your system? Something special?
What CPU activity do you observe when WM begins to play?
What about other music players, e.g. WinAmp is it slow too? If yes, then it
may be due to codecs issues.
