Hi Marty. Ok, so this is not just a JAWS only issue. Maybe someone could
discuss this in the Winamp forums? or again, maybe a script could be
modified for JAWS and a set file could be made for Window-eyes that keeps
you in the playlist editor, or somehow grabs that window? I know you can do
some pretty amazing things with scripts and set files.

Hi, Chris, winamp 5.094 is still exhibiting the behaviour of throwing you back in to the main window after adding a song in the playlist editor, so I think this is a winamp issue, and not a screen reader one that they need to fix, because I don't think winamp did this in version 5.92, and I'm using window-eyes 5.0.
