[gui-talk] Winamp interrupted

[Joel Deutsch]

Al,

I don't know why you and one other lister have guessed that. I'm familiar 
with that particular kind of awkward Winamp moment, and I know I've 
complained about it because it's not easy to handle with Jaws. But it had 
nothing at all to do with my problem, by which I mean I can't even imagine 
why it would come to mind. With all due respect, of course.

Anyway, the case is now moot. Everything's good. Mysteries are solved, at 
least in the practical sense. Apparently only a programming Talmudist could 
explain to me exactly how I managed to invoke a keyboard mapping conflict 
and then had to guess my way out of it. But it was a worthy exercise. And  a 
couple of listers guess more or less what I came to realize, myself. So it 
was a little bit of innocent Saturday night fun.

My guess only informed by experience and no evidence is that the program's
wanting you to update it.  Try another file to see if it stops too.  Also,
if you haven't played the file long it can mean there some coding in it
which is causing Winamp to want to retrieve additional information.

I was just playing an audio file in Winamp, and I'd pressed the letter C to
make Winamp pause for a second. I must have been distracted or just not
thinking clearly, because instead of pressing C again to resume play, I
pressed the Jaws command Insert Down arrow,or Insert numpad 2, to resume
playing. Say all command.

of course that command didn't work. So I made sure Jaws was focused on
Winamp, then pressed C to get it going again. nothing. I checked time
remaining (Insert Shift T) and confirmed that I was still in the file I'd
been listening to, and still paused where I'd left it.

But C wouldn't work. So I tried to stop the file permanently with the letter

v, then start it playing all over again. No luck.

I exited Winamp then relaunched  it. This movie, I figured, ought to clean
up whatever was the matter.

But no. The file was still shown as playing and paused, and I couldn't make
anything happen.

Before I do a restart or someone tells me to run a system restore or a Jaws
repair  or buy a Mac or whatever, is there someone who can figure out what
happened, actually? I'm crossing my fingers, here. I know there are a lot of

Winamp fans on this list. Or I think so, anyway. Experts, even, maybe.

Thanks.
