Hi Larry, Sure, great to hear from you too. Smile. To be honest, it would be okay to try installing the beta of Winamp in a new folder if, and only if, it installs like the 5.666 version. If it doesn't, then it could damage your current installation. It is a gamble, and this is why it is best to try such things on another machine, not your workhorse which you count on. This is why I invest so much effort maintaining virtual machines because you can set system restore points and just roll back if something goes wrong. Admittedly, it is quite complicated to work with these, and so the easiest equivalent solution is to simply use another PC. Anyway, hope you find some way of testing which doesn't cause too much trouble. Smile

Hey Rod, great to hear from you, and to know that you are still alive and well. All are still up and walkin' round here. As for Winamp, that option for two versions of Winamp on the same machine kinda escaped my memory. As of this moment, I haven't done anything with the new beta. I thought I'd give it a try on Monday, but I happened to be listening to an audio stream at the time and didn't wish to interrupt my listening, so I aborted the installation. I will get back to it some time this week, I'm sure, and will let ya know how things turned out.
