Hey.
That does seem unlikely.
The changelog I posted in the last message didn't say anything about that.
I could upgrade to 5.92 from 5.91 and see what happens, but differences between
winamp versions are minuscule, especially with such a small increment (5.91 to
5.92).

Here's something else interesting: doesn't seem to matter if I have it set to
"classic" or Modern" skins; it does nothing! My guess is that it's stuck on
Modern Skins" and nothing one can do about it! Of course, I could be wrong!

Hey.
It might look different, but I think that is because of a setting, not because
of a change in the programme as such.
If you're curious, here's the whatsnew for 5.92. it's all internal stuff to do
with the different modules of the programme, as well as something to do with
one of the skins that we don't use.
Winamp 5.9.2 [Apr 26 2023]
* New: [ml_fanzone] Connect to the online Winamp Fanzone
* New: [ml_hotmix] Connect to the Hotmix Radio service
* Improved: [gen_crasher] Added correct Windows 11 detection method
* Improved: [ml_wire] Replace internal IE engine with Qt v5.12 engine (w.i.p.)
* Fixed: Erroneous "URL: Winamp Command Handler" filetype association
* Fixed: [Big Bento] Drag titlebar issue
* Fixed: [Big Bento] Config overlap issue
* Fixed: [ml_local] Drag to rearrange smart view order causes corruption
* Fixed: [ml_playlists] Memory leaks
* Misc: Added option for RC builds in Update notifications
* Misc: All DLLs are now digitally signed
* Misc: Many more general tweaks, improvements, fixes and optimizations
* Replaced: jnetlib.w5s functions moved to new wac_network.w5s component
* Replaced: dlmgr.w5s functions moved to new wac_downloads.w5s component
* Updated: [jpeg] ijg-libjpeg 9e

Here's what I know: this 5.92 looks different than my old Winamp; Dennis is
saying he got 5.91...aw...but that isn't what's on that site!

Hey Tom.
Whatever is on the winamp page is the latest one they have, and that's the one
to get.
There really is very little difference between any versions of Winamp. You can
check the changelog, like I said, but it'll probably just sound like gibberish
to you. It's all under the hood stuff pretty much an d qutie minor at that.

Okay...I shut Jaws down...although I've had an occasion to restart the computer
recently, thus, Jaws would have shut down then as well! So let's try some of
these again; am pretty sure it told me that Winamp was in "Classic
mode"...aw...but it don't look like "classic" to me! I thought Dennis said I
could get 5.91 (I think that's what I really was supposed to get; aw...but it's
not on that Winamp page; not as far as I can tell!

Hey.
Never used that keystroke either. But it appears to be working here. That is a
JAWS thing though, not a winamp keystroke.
The length will show in the playlist editor still though even if that thing
doesn't work.
After a test, it appears that alt-r function you are talking about is also a
little goodie Freedom Scientific threw in. So, it sounds like your jaws winamp
commands aren't working right now, or at least some of them. When was the last
time you restarted jaws?
You did set it to classic, right?
That bar thing that you mentioned, I don't know what it is, but it's probably
something that was there in older versions, too, and which got turned off. I
really don't think they changed the look of Winamp at all.

Okay...apparently (with this newer Winamp) one can no longer get the length of
a track; used to be, you could do Insert-control-T (at least I think I'm right)
and it'd tell you how long the file is; it's not working now...unless you do
it differently!

Well there's this long narrow bar across the screen for one thing; another
thing: although it does say that I can jump to the end of the track with alt-R,
it doesn't work; instead, it says I _must_ be inside the Winamp main window or
playlist editor (which I believe I am) but whenever I do alt-R, that's the
message I get! I think that that 5.9.1 is what I was supposed to get, but
don't think it's listed in my downloads!

How does it look different? I can't see anything and the interface seems
exactly the same as it always has been using the classic mode.

Well it looks different; I have it set to classic skins, but this doesn't look

No, you got the right one. There's only the latest one there.
DO you use the library? I don't. But I'd still pick full anyway I guess. Run
the installer again and try it.

Well...I think it gave me the wrong one as it gave me (I think) 5.92; that's as

Tom.
Don't worry about that. It just means the download was successful, and the
executable is now in your downloads folder. You'll see that message from your
browser from now on when you download stuff, unless there's another change to
Chromium.
