I'm not sure if this will solve the issue, if the issue is a play list, but I have Winamp set to start up in the main window. I have my audio files categorized in folders. If I want to listen to a playlist, say, Oldies, once I open up the main window, press shift-L to see a list of folders, navigate to the one you want and press enter. The S key will toggle shuffle on or off. The R key will toggle repeat. It's a snap pulling up play lists this way without really even having to create them.
If you are just wanting to play songs manually, simply navigate to the folder where you have the audio files you want to play, and play them from there, rather then trying to navigate the library. Another work-around is to make a special folder for categories of audio files you want to mix. For instance, I have a file called Work Music that has a few genres in it that I like to listen to when working.

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.

So, you are saying, for example, that when you are in the library window that pressing the spacebar does not start music playing. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Long Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2017 1:13 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Winamp I have no issues with winamp and Jaws.

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.
