But they *were* there when I first installed 5.1; that's how I found the URL for WQXR. and that's why it's so weird that they've subsequently disappeared, unless, as I suggested, they were, in fact, only there as a trial offer, so to speak.
In any case, and what's even weirder, now, I can't even find the main treeview in the library. And, it's NOT the JAWS focus issue. Sighted friends have confirmed that it's just not there, any longer. I've tried re-installing 5.1 over the current installation. but that didn't change anything. Since I hardly ever use the Library, except for editing and rearranging bookmarks, and thanks to Chris I now know how to do that by editing winamp.bm, I'm seriously considering uninstalling 5.1, and downgrading to 5.092. Any thought before I do? Blessed Be, Dana that's Dayna, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A D. S. Leslie, née C. R.

It shows a listing for them in there now, but they're not there, even with the pro version of Winamp. so it's nothing any of us are doing. it's on the Nullsoft/aol end of things.
