Winamp Problems

<div class="IPBDescription">Maximisation!!!!! NOS!</div> ok, i have this VERY annoying problem. ive posted this on the winamp forums, but yea ... the usual no replys

SO i was wondering if you guys could help me out

situation is, i have winamp 5.03 (reinstalled yesterday)
because im a weirdo and i have my start bar up the top, i cant use the mmd3 skin and chunk winamp up the top, and im getting annoyed having it up top of my second monitor because it interfeers with my ns ..

i try to minimise it to the system tray, all well and done, but THEN if i press the play button on my mS natural pro keyboard, the damn thing maximises and becomes the focus (alt tabs out of game if im in one)

this is getting to the point where i may look for another mp3 player. anyone know how i can keep the bastard in the tray? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Under General Prefs, check "Show Winamp in System Tray," but if I understand you your problem is that you can't just stick it at the top. Why not the bottom? I know it doesn't "stick", per se, but you can just move it there. Or you can dock it to the bottom of the start bar, that's what I do. It stays there.

    it refuses to dock on the bottom

    i have the option to only show in tray.
    and because i run ns at a different resolution to my windows winamp moves (dual monitors)

    I know it won't dock at the bottom, but being there is better than nothing, eh?

    Maybe there's some config you could edit?

    dont use mmc3?

    youre getting into the realm of "the only guy in the world with your problem" when you ahve to specify the game, the second monitor, the docking, the start bar position and the skin!

    so we're probably going to be just as helpful as the winapm forums <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    If you need an alternative to Winamp, take <a href='http://sonique.lycos.com/' target='_blank'>Sonique</a>.

    TBH your keyboard drivers must be ****... I have a logitech keyboard and my multimedia keys work just fine in game.

    I took a look at it and wasn't very impressed. It doesn't have nearly the functionality of foobar, and (from what I can tell, correct me if I'm wrong) it doesn't support mpc files which makes it completely out of the question for me. It certainly looks nice though.

    well if you want a media player that supports many formats take <a href='http://www.deliplayer.com/' target='_blank'>DeliPlayer</a>. It supports 230 formats... I use it to listen to the soundtracks of my favourite Amiga games.... good old days :]
