I understand your confusion. I have done more testing, and I will try
to be clearer about my issues. Though I have more than one, I'll stick
with one for now. I have not tried the playlist editor. The keys in
the main window seem to work as I expect. However, when I'm in the
library window, things don't work so well. Let's say I am in the
search box looking for songs, artists, or albums. For example, I try
to search for mamas and papasin the library window. When I press the
spacebar, the last song I played will start playing. This should only
happen in the main window. I must go to the main window to stop it.
When I am returned to the search box, I cannot reliably type in it,
nor can I read the text with the arrow keys. I can only read
characters when I am deleting them with the backspace key. I can read
the entire line with Control+Insert+Up Arrow. Thus, I can't search for
anything. If I try to keep typing, my keystrokes are not passed to the
search box, but rather, they are processed as if intended for the main
window. . If I press the spacebar again, my song will start playhing
again. Winamp seems to process some keystrokes as if I am in the main
window when I am actually in the library window. I am wondering if I
need to change some Winamp settings. I guess I can try to reinstall,
but I hate to do this because to get a clean install, I will have to
rebuild my library from scratch.

I'm getting confused...
What exactly are you trying to do?
Are you trying to play a song from your library using the library pane of
Winamp?
If this is the case, then you should use the enter key, not the spacebar.
It's similar to iTunes.
You can arrow up and down the library, but until you press enter on the
selection, the track won't play, though when you press the spacebar,
it will
keep playing the previous track you had loaded in Winamp.
I'm also interested in why you are using the Winamp Library?
I find it very difficult to use, though I don't know if scripts have been
created for the Winamp Library feature. Having said that though, I
simply
use File Explorer to manage my audio tracks.
Since I have no sight, I don't bother with cover art, or anything like
that,
I simply manage the audio tracks as files.
Regardless, Winamp won't stop working, simply because it's not being
developed, there simply won't be any support or updates, so you'll
have to
get your support or help from online sources, or lists like these.
Perhaps you could explain in finer detail what it is you're trying to
accomplish, and how you're going about trying to achieve this.

Yes. I assume you mean Winamp help. So, you are saying, for example, that
when you are in the library window that pressing the spacebar does not
start
music playing.

Winamp is still a disaster. Every time I press the spacebar the song I
last
played starts playing. I would expect this behavior in the main
Windows, but
not in the library window. Also, as I said in an earlier post, Alt 1
through
Alt 0 will read the column headers in Window-Eyes. I believe Alt+3
opens the
Data editor. I’ll be using Window-Eyes until it breaks or until you JAWS
users can come up with some better solutions. I know, I know, Winamp is
supposed to be broken soon, too.
