Hi.   A couple things here.
Firstly, if you got your copy of Winamp from whitestick.co.uk, the fact that it's the lite version is clearly stated on the link to download it. I went there to see if this was the case, and it's true. So I guess if you really don't make much use of the library or bookmarks, then that's ok.
Secondly, I'm not sure why so so so many people are having trouble getting Winamp downloaded from the winamp.com site. It's a whole lot easier than you might think. Yes, the site isn't that friendly but if you know exactly what to do you can get it in a snap. 

1.  Go to the site, and press enter on the player link.
2. When the page loads, hit the letter t to get to the first table on the page, and right there, clear as day, are all the links to the different versions you can get. 
 press your down arrow key and you get

Full
http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/client/winamp55_full_emusic-7plus_en-us.exe
Bundle
http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/client/winamp55_full_bundle_emusic-7plus_en-us.exe
 Lite
http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/client/winamp55_lite_en-us.exe
Pro
http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/client/winamp55_pro_en-us.exe
Note if you want Winamp in another language other than English, just press the down arrow key and you'll be told which language it is, followed by the download link. If you just press your tab key, all the links will look exactly the same and it can be very confusing.
Hope that helps folks. I even had a problem with it til someone helped me so don't feel too bad. 

Thanks.

Clifford your guess is right; I got it from the whitestick site. Ok not sure what I'm gonna do; guess things are fine as they are don't delete from bookmarks anyway or I haven't been for a long time. But who knows I just may decide to visit winamp.com and pic up the real thing lol.

From where did you download your version.  If from whitestick.com, I
understand he's oly got a "lite" version of 5.5 because he doesn't like
the library.  You should download from winamp.com.  If you didn't get it
from whitestick.com or accidentally got a "lite" version, then, I have
no ideas.

Subject: new winamp 5.5 no library?

Hi all on list:

Today I just installed new Winamp 5.5 and I quickly found that when you
press alt control +I, jfw says something like, "Winamp, you must install
the winamp library before you can edit your bookmarks. Ok." You can of
course get to your bookmarks from the file menu; it's a submenu under
file menu. Bookmarks can be accessed, but not removed or so it seems. I
chose full install so not sure if I missed anything along the way. I've
got my version of Winamp set up using classic skins. I use jfw V 8.0 and
9.0 beta and the latest scripts with David truong's fix which makes it
easy to move around in the Winamp library. Also what is Winamp Remote? I
chose to install it but removed it almost right away.

Hal
