Okay...I shut Jaws down...although I've had an occasion to restart the computer recently, thus,
Jaws would have shut down then as well! So let's try some of these again; am pretty sure it told
me that Winamp was in "Classic mode"...aw...but it don't look like "classic" to
me! I thought Dennis said I could get 5.91 (I think that's what I really was supposed to get;
aw...but it's not on that Winamp page; not as far as I can tell!

Hey.
Never used that keystroke either. But it appears to be working here. That is a
JAWS thing though, not a winamp keystroke.
The length will show in the playlist editor still though even if that thing
doesn't work.
After a test, it appears that alt-r function you are talking about is also a
little goodie Freedom Scientific threw in. So, it sounds like your jaws winamp
commands aren't working right now, or at least some of them. When was the last
time you restarted jaws?
You did set it to classic, right?
That bar thing that you mentioned, I don't know what it is, but it's probably
something that was there in older versions, too, and which got turned off. I
really don't think they changed the look of Winamp at all.

Okay...apparently (with this newer Winamp) one can no longer get the length of
a track; used to be, you could do Insert-control-T (at least I think I'm right)
and it'd tell you how long the file is; it's not working now...unless you do
it differently!

Well there's this long narrow bar across the screen for one thing; another
thing: although it does say that I can jump to the end of the track with alt-R,
it doesn't work; instead, it says I _must_ be inside the Winamp main window or
playlist editor (which I believe I am) but whenever I do alt-R, that's the
message I get! I think that that 5.9.1 is what I was supposed to get, but
don't think it's listed in my downloads!

How does it look different? I can't see anything and the interface seems
exactly the same as it always has been using the classic mode.

Well it looks different; I have it set to classic skins, but this doesn't look
like my old Winamp; at least it seems to be doing what it's supposed to do; I
can advance through the file and probably other things!

No, you got the right one. There's only the latest one there.
DO you use the library? I don't. But I'd still pick full anyway I guess. Run
the installer again and try it.

Well...I think it gave me the wrong one as it gave me (I think) 5.92; that's as far back as it'd go; now
it's telling me "not able to display library (or something) I chose "standard" should I
have chosen "full?"
Tom Kaufman, who's sorry to be such a pain; am just not seeing the vervage I

Tom.
Don't worry about that. It just means the download was successful, and the
executable is now in your downloads folder. You'll see that message from your
browser from now on when you download stuff, unless there's another change to
Chromium.

Guys: I just don't know! I go (on the Winamp page) to where it says "download!"
However, I'm presented with a message like "this dialog is not focused; then it says to
hit alt-shift-A to focus it...no soap; alt-shift-A does nothing! Now what do I do?

Hey.
I just checked to make sure, and while they seem to have changed
the layout a bit in th e last few months, the download link is
indeed there on the page. The version number is 5.91.
You can still use plugins, since winamp pretty much relies on
them to work, however some old plugins may not function anymore.
Some were built in to winamp, like the gracenote plugin. The new
version I believe removes one or two that were part of the
programme. All winamp archive downloads contain a version change
log that goes back at least 20 years, so you can see exactly
what has been done with the different versions, but most of it
is pretty technical behind the scenes stuff that doesn't mean much to the
average user.
If you still have old winamp plugins that you got yourself and
that you like, you can try them -- I don't think I really use
any myself, but they should work still.

Hey Dennis.
I think you're letting the Winamp.com main page confuse you a bit.
They want you to sign up for an online radio service. I guess
they make money through this soehow now, probably throughs
ponsors or something. But that isn't the latest version of
winamp. The latest version of winamp is v5.9, and it is available from
winamp.com.

Not that it's necessary or that important; older versions seem
to work mostly fine, but if you're going to re-install, you
may as well update.
