Peter,
Forgot this with last message ... I have a cable connection and did see that behavior you described of trying to connect, but only when I first opened Winamp after installation. There was some kind of send/don't send dialog which I was able to clear and have not seen that since, so am not sure what it is about. The whole thing about setting library preferences has always confused me though. in going into the library, I can see the options for searching for various file types, which I haven't done anything with. As I said, it was a while since i did this and that was with 5.04 and it seemed that the dialog was more straightforward in 2.95 or whatever version when the library was first introduced. Anyway, many thanks for any advice.


Susan

P.S. Susan, I actually meant to say, "I don't know what kind of connection
you have," not "kind of connection I have." Just a goof.

Hi Susan, as to increasing the streams, in Media Library under
Preferences,
look for a button that says something about managing cache and hit it; you
should get a dialog that starts with something about limiting the streams
to
fetch; if the edit box says 500, for instance, than hit Delete and type a
higher number, say 10000.  Then go to the Okay button, press it with
spacebar; then you're back on the first dialog page; go to the Close
button,
hit the spacebar, and that should do it. As for 5.09, I just tried it and
found an odd behavior with it. I'm on dial-up, and previous versions of
Winamp didn't try to connect to the Net when listening to a file stored
offline; however with 5.09 in my case, when I wanted to listen to
something
that is offline on the hard disk, Winamp would connect to the Net. Even
when I merely wanted to run Winamp while offline to see what plugins are
there, the thing would--what else--connect! I went back to 5.08E; I don't
know what kind of connection I have, but for now I'm staying away from
5.09;
so, ah, pick your poison (grin).  HTH

Regards, Peter
