I recently made the move from iTunes to Winamp (no logical reason, just felt like a change), looking good so far, liking its simplistic way of dealing with some of the more complicated in depth aspects which other media players lack in, and its customizability is good also. However, i got a couple of questions for you winamp boffins;
1) I have winamp mostly set to playlist shuffle. Really all i want is to be able to randmonly play any song in my library but the only way i saw how to do this was add my whole library to 'enqueue'. But the problem is, if i want to change from shuffling the whole library to just shuffling one artist, how can i do this without interupting the current song which is being played? The only way i saw to change the shuffle to one artist was to double click the artists name in library view so the 'queue' just contains songs from that artist, but of course when you do this the song you were listening to gets interupted with a random song from the artist i just chose.
2) How do i stop certain songs from ever being played when im shuffling the whole library? With iTunes there was a little tick box which could be unticked, which meant that when you were in shuffle mode that song would never get played.
