Wow, I did it! That was hard to find but I knew as soon as I saw it that it was what I needed. Sometimes navigating that treeview is tricky because you don't always see all the options, maybe it's just me, grin. Anyway, many thanks, will save your response.

Hi Susan,
1. Open preferences with ctrl+p.
2. Arrow to Media Library.
3. Tab to Modify Preferences and press space.
4. You should be in a field with the title Limit number of listings fetched.
5. Add a couple of zeroes, making it 50000.
HTH.
Regards, Barry Chapman

Peter, I see a lot of stuff about display options but nothing specifically about managing the cache. The closest item is something about not loading the database at startup, which of course is unchecked. There's also an item referring to resizing columns, but that seems to have to do with the appearance of the display. again, not sure what I'm missing, i can't seem to get to anything other than the display or advanced options dialogs. Thanks for your patience.

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

withHi listers, sorry if this question has been done to death, but can someone remind me about how to increase the number of streams in the Winamp media libraryversion,the latest version? Once I get to the media library section under preferences i can't seem to find the appropriate dialogue, which looks different from the 5.04 version on my old machine. Any help much appreciated. By the way, I'm wondering about upgrading to the newany thoughts for or against from those who may have already done it? many thanks as always.
Susan
