Re: Suggestions on a player please:
Sorry, but I haven't been paying attention to this thread, so I don't know if this is the answer or not, but it looks like Jamal Mazrui's FileDir application, which you can get at http://www.empowermentzone.com/dirsetup.exe, supports the creation of playlists. Here's what it says in the documentation: Use the Play List command, Control+Shift+L, to create a .m3u file with references of tagged items to play sequentially. Types may include .mp3, .wav, or .cda (the extension of a track on a standard audio CD). FileDir prompts for the name of the play list to create, defaulting to PlayList.m3u in the current directory. Focus is then placed on that file (if in the same directory), so you can simply press Enter to execute the play list. Note that if you want to play tracks on an audio CD, however, you need to save the play list in another directory that permits the creation of new files. Don Breda wrote: Hi Steve. Yes your right of course and I wish there was a small utility to just convert the bm file to a real playlist. While the solution Chris suggests isn't a bad one it doesn't eliminate the work of combining each separate lplaylist file created with Chris's aproach in to a real playlist. Yes I could keep them all in a folder and use file manager to click on each different playlist file but I want a solution that just creates a real playlist that gets appended to by the mere press of a key combination such as when adding a bookmark. Well I have beaten this thread to death at this point and may just write the winamp authors with the suggestion. Not a big deal its not the end of the world.

Re: Suggestions on a player please:
Actually you can do this while the stream is playing. do the following. 1. press control plus tab until you get to the playlist editor. 2. Now you should see 1 item in the playlist, that's your stream. 3. Press control plus s and you'll be prompted for a file name. you can call this file whatever you like, making sure that the file has a .m3u extention. Now save the file anywhere on your hard drive, or put it in a folder, or save it as an icon on your desktop, either way works. So whenever you want to listen to this station, find the appropriate file, press enter on it and Winamp will come up. As an aside, the bookmarks are actually saved in a text file called Winamp.bm. so if you ever need to update the addresses of the stations you listen to, do a search for Winamp.bm, open it in a text editor and simply change the url hth.

Re: Suggestions on a player please:
It's very easy in Winamp. While a stream is playing, hit an alt key followed by a right arrow. This will get you into the Winamp menue. Just arrow down to bookmarks and under that you'll find "add current as bookmark". Just choose this and the station will be saved and you can choose it in the future from the list of bookmarks. These are just like Favorites in a web browser.
