Here is some more information I came across this morning that I thought may
interest some here.
I thought that some of you who use winamp might find this information useful.

Hereâ?Ts a list (currently updated to reflect the [Winamp] section) of valuable
references in the WINAMP.INI file for those Winamp users who find mostly
anything
wrong with their Winamp, well, maybe not

Notepad or Wordpad), and save it to the same name upon completing an edit.
