Re: Winamp Octimax
After Octimax there was a plugin written by the same person called Volume Logic. I don't recall if it was Octimax or Volume Logic that was bought but neither of them are produced any more. Seems I've heard of Breakaway and I might even have tried it without success but I've gone back to good old Audiostocker which is free and I've copied from one pc to the next since the late 90s.

I haven't done this myself, but I found this on the web page http://www.apple.com/findouthow/music/itunes.html#management-convertwma Since WMA is a MS proprietary format, requiring Apple to pay MS a license, I'm surprised they do anything with WMA files at all.

I've searched the web for this answer but did not find out. Hope someone here knows. I just installed the latest Itunes. I wanted to add music from another drive using add folder to library. iTunes One or more of the songs you are adding to iTunes, including “01 graphic 870 Rubber Bullets [Long Version].wma”, are in the WMA format. iTunes will automatically convert them to the AAC format so that they can be added to your iTunes library. Convert Skip I accidently hit escape twice when leaving the Jaws virtual viewer and missed being able to hit the skip button. Itunes started processing the library even though I pressed escape? I don't know if it was skipping or processing all those .wma files. Looks like it didn't start converting because there were no .aac files found in the folder when I looked with Windows Explorer search. I'd thought I'd forgotton to turn on restore previous versions for that drive after reinstalling Windows 7. I couldn't find a previous version for the folder. However, I did find previous versions in the drive's properties. I searched for all .aac files on my system and only found one very old. I right clicked and open with which was not a menu but opened a dialog that was hard to work with Jaws. I finally got it to see Itunes but accidently hit enter before unchecking always use this program to open this type. Itunes didn't open. Now when I right click that file the open with is a sub menu with Windows Media Player and Itunes in it. Also choose default program. So, I screwed up once again. Makes a grown man weap! I can't believe they would make it hard to import wma files. I have so many I don't want to convert. I'll have to back them up first. I hate software that makes me choose without preperation. Itunes already sucks! Can't I keep Itunes from damaging or changing my origenal wma files? If I check this; Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library, will it make converted copies and place them in the Itunes folder leaving the origenal wma files in their place?

Re: Winamp questions
Hi Mike, Pressing l when in the Winamp playlist editor will place the file at the end of the playlist. There is a way of inserting a file after the one which is currently playing, but it involves changing some options in Winamp and also using Windows Explorer. To achieve this: 1. Open the Winamp preferences with ctrl+p. 2. Arrow to the Shell Options. 3. Check the checkbox for each of the following: Add 'Enqueue Play' to Winamp's associated file types Insert enqueued files after the currently playing file Leave playback on the currently playing file 4. Open a playlist in Winamp and start playing. 5. Open Windows Explorer and arrow to a file you wish to insert. 6. Press alt+f for the File Menu. 7. Arrow to Enqueue Play in Winamp and press enter. This will insert the selected file after the one which is currently playing. I am not aware of any cart machine type plugins for Winamp. I hope this helps.

I wanted to ask you guys about Winamp. I recently downloaded version 5.63, which I've heard is very accessible with Windows xp and Windows 7. However, after listening to a discussion about Winamp on an old episode of Mainn Menu from the ACB Radio archive, one of the broadcasters said, that Winamp has a weird querkyness about it. They said, that When you're playing a long playlist of items, and try to insert a track into the list, instead of placing the track below the one that's currently playing, Winamp will instead place the track at the bottom of the playlist, which may not be where you want it to go. Being that the episode of Main Menu I listened to goes way back to April 17 2000, the information I heard might no longer be relevant. For any of you who use Winamp for either broadcasting and/or personal listening, is there any way to fix Winamp, so that it will place newly inserted tracks into their proper place in a playlist? Also, is there a cart machine plug-in for Winamp, that allows users to play sound effects and radio station jingles? I know that Station Playlist Studio can do all of this, but in case I'm not able to get my hands on a copy of Playlist Studio, I might end up having to use Winamp for broadcasting. I'm not giving up on getting Studio just yet, but if I should need to, I'll have to use Winamp as an alternative. Thanks. Mike Rochester, NY.
