Hammit: I don't know if this is an exact answer to your question! But from what I know about Winamp, it's easy and straight-forward...especially if you have it set to the "classic" mode! As I've pointed out before, the thing I love about this player is its ability to move backward and forward in a file (you can go to an exact spot in a file just by keying in a number (that's also easy enough to find out where you are) this is what works for me; that's all I can tell ya!

What made it such a big thing with the blind? Maybe I didn't give it much a chance. But actually the 1 I used felt odd. But I only tried it. But seeing it doesn't have SRS Wow like Media Player does, I don't use it much. Meh I've tried it for streaming but that's about all. I do know lots of people love WinAmp. I have homies that do.
