Yeah, it probably hasn't been updated in quite awhile!  Chris will probably get 
around to it, some day!

The FAQ doesn't even exist. I tried to go on there last night and bang! Got 
a 404 file not found page!

Chris,

It would seem that it might be time for a new, updated version of the trusty 
old "Win Amp FAQ", you think?

Well now, let's be clear here.  that could be confusing to some
people because yes, everything is there, but in order to be
compadible with screenreaders, you most definitely do not want the
modern or bento skins to be installed, and if someone hasn't ever
installed the newer versions of Winamp before, and they aren't told
that they need to uncheck the modern and bento skins during the
instalation, they're gonna have nothing but headaches, and Winamp
won't work very well for them. This could be very frustrating.

By default, when you install new versions of Winamp, the first choice
that you see is custom, and when you choose that, the modern and
bento skins are unchecked, if, of course, you didn't choose to have
them installed before. So to put it plain and simple, the instalation
program actually remembers the settings from your last instalation,
so for best results, I really do have to recommend the custom
instalation.  It just really makes things a lot simpler for everyone 
involved.

and when the next version comes out, just choose custom again and
it'll retain your ssettings from this version.
