    Where the hell is the Media Library or whatever it was called in the last version? All I have now is:

    Main Window
    Playlist Editor
    Video
    Browser
    ColorThemes

    "Browser" is greyed out like that, too. Blah this sucks. And I can't use WMP because it doesn't play M4As.

    Ctrl + L is a command to open a URL, apparently.

    EDIT: Okay, so you meant Alt + L. But it doesn't do anything so either way.

    Interesting. I guess I won't upgrade, then.

    I wasn't going to either but after awhile of not upgrading, Winamp started giving me fatal errors and shutting it down everytime I tried to play a song from the library and then exit the media library. I had to delete a file that was in the Winamp folder to make it work, then I decided to upgrade for some reason.

    I've always hated Winamp. I keep it on my computer just cause every once in a while there's a file format that Winows Media Player doesn't play. I've never understood the facination with Winamp. It doesn't give you the features and functionality of Windows Media Player. Infact the only advantages of it I can think of is the fact that it doesn't have that functionality makes it easier to use. And also it takes up less RAM, but unless you're on a terrible computer it really doesn't matter.

    Ahh yes, I forgot about the whole MP4 thing. Yeah, that's another good thing. But MP4 obviously isn't a very widespread format at the moment. WM will support it when the time is right.

    I'm pretty sure that iTunes plays mp4's.

    I'm pretty sure AAC is MP4. So yeah, iTunes is made for it. That is, if I'm correct.

    But this is off-topic, a cure still hasn't been found for Casey.

    Winamp > iTunes.


    There's probably an mp4 plugin for 5. ;)

    Just go into your Playlist Editor and add the folder your music is in, then press "J" and type in the song you wanna listen too.

    I've had WinAmp for a while now, yes it's easier to use and to be honest, why would you want it any other way? All's I want is something to listen to music with, the only reason I use WinAmp is because I have around 1500 songs, they can become hard to manage.
