He's right. You don't need the help of a sighted friend to do this,in fact, 
this would be good for you to build confidence.  You can re-download your 
current version if need be, or have your registration key info sent back to 
you,in fact there's a button in the prefences to recover your lost 
registration information.  So once you have 5.03 installed, go to 
preferences with control plus p, and near the top you'll see the Winamp pro 
section. press the recover lost registration information button and you can 
do just that right from within the program.
  either way what you need to do is ***very*** easily done independently !!!!
Also, why write to Robert off list when ya can share it with 
everyone?  We're here to help, and what better place to share your success 
with us. and if you run into problems, you're more likely to receive 
answers to your questions.  After all, asking over a hundred people all at 
once is much better than just asking one I believe.
Either way, you've got lots of help here, this is exactly the reason why 
this list was created, so don't be afraid to take advantage of the list.
