No. You can run Winamp but the scripts do not work properly at this time.
For example JAWS won't announce the next or previous track if you press b or
z, for example. Just one of the reasons why I got fed up of 64 bit operating
systems. I want my old functionality back, and now I have it.

I wasn't able to run 32 bit Jaws on a 64 bit system.
On another note, since I have a 64 bit machine, does this mean I can't use
Winamp?

64 bit is great but it's not for me at this time. I've decided to go back
to 32 bit as JAWS reads things a lot better on that platform, plus I can
use some programs that work better with JAWS on a 32 bit operating
system,
like Winamp. I will definitely monitor the progress on how screen readers
work on a 64 bit operating system, but for now I'm happy with good old 32
bit. So I think this is the reason why things aren't reading for you.
Sorry I can't offer any more help on this.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Windows 7 64 bit problem
Hello:
I have a new 64 bit Windows 7 system running the latest version of JFW.
I
keep encountering several places where I am unable to read what I type
or
even read d what is already in a field. Usually, when I check theses
occurrences, it says that there is "no font". I have not encountered
this
with my Windows XP or Vista systems with JWS.
By changing themes yesterday, I was able to move between virtually no
screen
reading output, all the way to being able to read virtually everything.
Occasionally, some dialogue boxes and message boxes will not echo
anything
and in some instances they speak correctly. I have been unable to
discern a
definite pattern as to what the problem might actually be. I have been
searching Freedom Scientifics' knowledge base, but have not been able to
find my exact problem described.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what other settings I might
manipulate that might help in alleviating this problem?
Thanks...
