hi again
sounds like you are running winamp version 5.5. do the time markers reside in the same location for all versions of winamp? or, the one you provide only applies to the latest version. i'm asking you this because i'm still having difficulty in locating the time markers or the .tmf as you had indicated, in my version of winamp which is 5.35. sure interesting to be able to import the time markers and to resume listening on another machine when you are on the go. 

sorry to bother you again.
please excuse me for my rotten English as i'm not a native speaker.

I think it's possible. I didn't try it myself, but here is something you can do. Locate your winamp.tmf file. On my machine it is in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\8.0\Settings\enu and copy it to the other machine. Of cource you have to copy the files you placed the markers in. If there are no markers, try to reproduce the folder structure as it is on your pc. What I'm trying to say is - if your files are in my documents\my music\artist\album folder on your pc, place them in the same place on the other pc. Please tell us what happens when you try this.

Yes, they are different. I think I've explained in my previous message the difference. The bookmarks allow you to return to a file or stream you like for a later time, but a time markers allow you to set a bookmarks in a file ( you can't set time markers in streams) and later return to the same place. For example, you listen or watch long file and you need to restart the pc in the middle. You just add time marker and after restart you can use it to jump directly to the place you stopped. Warning, if you have deleted or moved the file you have placed markers in, they are gone. 
Here is some information from the jaws help:

Time Markers and Time Announcement
The following commands allow you to get time information about the current track, or to manipulate time markers within a track. These commands work in any 
Winamp window except the minibrowser.

If you mean time markers, they are placed with the letter m. you can leave 
them automaticly nmamed like "marker 1" and so on or you can name them
manually and press enter. You can delete time markers with ctrl+shift+m or go to time marker with alt+shift+m. All those hotkeys open the corresponding dialogue. Ctrl.+i saves markers in a file named winamp.bm. It's applicable 
if you have big playlist and want to bookmark a song you like to heare
again. Also you can use it to bookmark streams you hear on internet. You can 
find those bookmarks in the winamp menu/bookmarks. The file itself is
located in c:\program files\winamp or
c:\documents&settings\username\aplication data\winamp\.
