Update on Winamp was Winamp versus wmp...
Ok folks. I have downloaded the latest version of Winamp. I thank all for their response but have not been able to reply to each and everyone but thank you all. As I said, I've downloaded the latest version and when installing I had three choices, light, standard and full. I opted for the full option, was that a mistake? Or would the standard or light have been a better choice? When I launch Winamp I get the set up dialogue but I'm not sure what it is asking me. The first thing I get is a long list of file types with check boxes, I assume you can either accept them all or uncheck any file type you don't want. I also get a option to enable Winamp agent, what is this? If someone could walk me through this I would be grateful as I don't want to accept stuff that is unnecessary and just confuses things. I haven't ventured from the first dialogue screen on the set up page. Your help would be appreciated. Walter. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
RE: Update on Winamp was Winamp versus wmp...
Hello Walter. All those checkboxes for filetypes are what you want win amp to be able to play. I usually just choose select all. From what I know standard should be fine. Also, and this is key. If jaws ever doesn't seem to be reading right odds are you have changed the skin by accident. You can only use the classic skin from what I know. You can change this easily by hitting control p for preferences and then s for skins and choose classic and hit enter. I hope this is a good enough start and if you have any further questions feel free to ask. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Walter Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2011 6:55 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: Update on Winamp was Winamp versus wmp...

Hi. Well, in the set up dialogue there is an option to select Winamp agent, the box is checked by default but I don't know what this is and if I would be better off unchecking it, do you know what it is?

HI Jaws says you shouldn't use Winamp agent; however, I use it. It is supposed to keep other players from grabbing the default from Winamp. Marsha To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Ok in the first screen choose Winamp Classic and click next. On the next screen you can leave the file types alone but uncheck use Winamp Agent then click next. You might as well skip the rest and click finish to do so. On 03/12/2011 12:55, Walter wrote: Ok folks. I have downloaded the latest version of Winamp.

Hi Since I have never had any problem with Winamp Agent, and haven't gotten any responses, why does everyone un check Winamp Agent? It keeps other players from taking over the default. Marsha To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: Update on Winamp was Winamp versus wmp...
I've just unchecked Winamp Agent because it's just another process I don't think I need running on my PC. I don't install enough media players, and I'm careful when I do, so I don't worry about my file associations getting taken over. That being said, it's a good precaution for anyone who is worried about it or has had a bad experience with losing their file associations. I haven't run it in a while, but I don't think there's an accessibility issue with JAWS. I'd be curious to know where FS recommends not running Winamp Agent. There's another utility called Winamp Remote, or something like that, which as I recall is not accessible and can get in your way of your winamp experience. It has something to do with controling winamp remotely. I've always unchecked this option. Winamp has a nice feature of remembering your settings from your previous install, and there's an option somewhere where you just tell it to install Winamp the same way you did before. This is nice because you don't have to worry about remembering which buttons to check and unchecked. Unfortunately, because of this, I can't recall which options I frequently unchecked!

Re: Update on Winamp was Winamp versus wmp...
I just did it because FS said it was inaccessible and should be unchecked. I also like to have as few programs running in the background as necessary. - Original Message - From: Marsha marcat...@yahoo.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2011 2:21 PM Subject: Re: Update on Winamp was Winamp versus wmp...
