  This may be to much to ask fore, but is there any tutorial out there on 
winamp preferences and what all of them mean? I understand the player quite 
well but even I don't know what all those preferences mean. I'm sure this would 
help a lot of people. It would really take an expert to do something like this. 
How many of you can really say you understand everything in there? Thanks, Joe.
