hi Golden,
let see, hope i can be a help this time.

as my understand, you wish to share your winamp time marker file to another 
computer. ok here is my explaination.

1. at this point, you might know or not, time marker is a feature produce by FS 
for jaws user and if you are using others then jaws, 
you are not able to use this feature.

2. the place marker file is called "winamp.tmf" and if you are using jaws later 
then version 6.0, you can find this file at the 
following location:

start / programs or all programs / jaws x.x / explore jaws / explore my 
settings / winamp.tmf

note: x.x is refer to the currently loaded jaws version if you have more then 
one version installed.

3. copy the "winamp.tmf" file and place back to the same location when you move 
to another computer.

4. to make long story short, actually, all the time marker that you've set for 
all the tracks will be stor into this file only. so, 
let say if you have 10 tracks and you've set markers for them, you just need to 
share this winamp.tmf file.

hope i explain clearly enough as english also not my native.

Warmest Regards,
Allan Wong

No problem. We are all here to learn and to help. Your english is good I
think, since I can understand what you are saying. If it makes you feel
better english is not my native also.
Now on the question - actually I use Winamp Version 5.3.5.1305. The tmf file
has nothing to do with winamp version, because the time markers are jaws
thing. This
file stores information that jaws uses. Try first to place some markers and
look again for this file. Also, can you reach the address folder I gave to
you? If not, try searching for the file. If you have more questions, feel
free to ask.
