I must admit that on my latest install of Windows 10 I have now not installed
WinAmp as there were some stability issues in previous installs.
I now use VLC pretty much exclusively. Actually the best setup is with VLC and
NVDA installed with the VLC plugin.
This seems to provide me with all that I used to get from Winamp with Jaws and
more. For example as I press left and right arrow keys NVDA wil announce time
elapsed. Pressing I will provide all the statistical information I need, length
of file, time elapsed, time remaining and so on.
Jaws needs to catch up and provide similar functionality with VLC I think.
The thing I really like with VLC is the control of rate of playback, left
bracket speeds up playback, left bracket slows down playback and pressing
equals normalises playback speed. I use this all the time when listening to
Podcast and spoken word content.
I also like the mass of granulated navigation keyboard shortcuts from large to
small jumps.
It may not be an issue for you but VLC also has a louder maximum volume than
WinAmp.
However if you really want to stick with WinAmp I suggest you visit Ninite.com
and download it from there as it appears to always have the latest most stable
version.

Subject: [access-uk] Which version of Winamp for JAWS 19 and Windows 10
Hi all.
I don't really know which version of Winamp I installed onto my New Windows 10
computer. This is because, I don't yet know how to navigate my way around this
new OS yet.
Whatever I've installed must be wrong, for when I select a book of several
files, highlight them and press Enter, the first file starts playing, but the
audio is paused after about 5-10 minutes. I cannot even find my old favorate
"Play in Winamp", to start listening to the whole book.
Can anyone please tell me which version of Winamp I should have installed and
also if possible, where to download this. I've tried and there are dozens of
versions and download paths.
Very best wishes.
Andy Logue.
