andy,

if you press alt-w that hould put the main winamp window on top.

next, press left alt, arrow down one time to winamp, then arrow
right.  Go down the menue items, and press enter on anything
which is checked, to de-select it.

Don't worry about the options menu branch at this time.

go past that, when you arrive at Exit, you have done the lot.

you are particularly interested in de-selecting library.


continue back down the list, and when you get to
skins, it is a drop down.  Right arrow in to this branch, and
look for "classic." press enter on classic.

Now to get the winamp main window, press alt-w.

If you get stuck, You can write me off list.

good luck.

Hi all.

I've been using Winamp for many many years now quite happily.

I don't create play lists, tag files or use anyplug ins.

All I do is make Winamp my default audio player and either press the enter 
key on an album or within Applications, select play in winamp.


So I need a version of Winamp for another computer and I've no longer got 
the softwear.


I got a copy of Winamp Version 5.... and installed it and straight 
away it wanted me to create a playlist and it's seems that I can't get 
away from this feature by disabling it.


Or am I wrong?

Any advice would be verry  very welcome.

Very best wishes.
Andy.

hi.  there's actually even an easier way.

what's happening is that it's a setup screen.
make sure that the Winamp classic skin is selected, and everything else 
should be fine so just click the finish button and you should be good.  
Everything that you want is turned on by default.  to get rid of the 
Winamp library, simply hit alt plus l and the library will go away. like 
everything else it's a toggle so if you hit alt l again it'll come back.
you may receive a message asking if you want to import your music into 
the library. tab to the no button and press the space bar and then press 
alt plus l and everything should be set.  by default, the equalizer, 
main window and playlist editor are all turned on, but the equalizer 
needs to be activated with the letter n while focused in the equalizer 
window.   you can press control plus tab to cycle between Winamp windows.


 hope that helps.
