Still Problems With Winamp Bookmarks
Hello list: This is more on my problem with not being able to edit bookmarks in Winamp~! I re-installed Winamp; it _still_ tells me that in order to edit or delete bookmarks, I _must_ have the Winamp library installed! But it _is_ in stalled! So I don't understand! Any ideas?

Winamp Bookmarks: I've Figured It Out!
Hello list: Although I got no response from the list, I was able to get the Winamp Library to act like it's supposed to (I wanted to be able to delete or edit a bookmark) I uninstalled Winamp; then I re-installed Winamp, this time choosing the full install (I figured I could remove the parts I didn't want) in fact, by choosing to install the full version, it actually gave me the choice of which items I wanted to add and which items I didn't want, such as that stupid tool bar! Anyway it seems to be working now! I was hoping somehow that I could make it work without having to go through the trouble of having to remove; then put Winamp back on; guess this was the only way that would work!

Re: Winamp Bookmarks: I've Figured It Out!
Tom, have you ever just edited the bookmarks file? That's how I've been doing it. The file is called winamp.bm and is located in different places depending upon your version of windows. You can find it with the windows find function. I edit it with notepad. In the file, each bookmark has two lines--really strings of characters because the whole string sometimes doesn't fit on a notepad line. The first string is the address (URL) of the bookmark; and the second is its name. ALWAYS make a backup of the file before you tamper with it.

Re: Winamp Bookmarks: I've Figured It Out!
Hello Howard and list: Well I never thought about that; all I knew was: before I had my problem with Winamp, I was able to edit the bookmarks or delete them; which ever I chose to do; no problem! But after I had re-installed it, I found I could do neither as it insisted that I had to have the Winamp Library installed (which I couldn't understand) for it appeared to me that the library _was_ installed! I still don't know why it didn't work for me! But the important thing is that I want on and on-installed Winamp; then re-installed it as I indicated in the previous email; works fine now! But thanks for the response and shall keep this in mind for future reference!
