Hey all. Hopefully this will be helpful to some of you.

The jump command in winamp is quite powerful. I mean you can't kill anyone with it but it's still pretty cool.
If you've ever tabbed around the jump dialog box you'll notice the different buttons. Basically here is a brief how-to.
Jump is essentially a search command inside your current playlist in winamp. It is the best and quickest way to find things in a The jump dialog box is basically a search box inside your current playlist in winamp. You can type in the edit box any string like artist, title, or combination. Or just a word!
After that you will find your results in the list box. Note, there's no ok or search button. Just start typing and tab over to the list to see your results.
Here is a brief description of the following buttons once your cursor is on the track you wanted.
Jump button: Jump immediately to a track
Even if winamp is stopped, or there is a track playing this will start immediately.
queue button This will queue up the track so it will play as the next song. However this will move your cursor to that tracks position in the playlist. So you will lose your current place when you do this.
BTW The queue command will also work with the next command.
The best button of them all!
Move after current button: This button will queue up the track and bring the track to the next position on your playlist. 
So you can queue it to be played next, and you don't lose your place. However this is permanent another words if you go back it will stay at the position you left it.
Well I tried to be brief but hopefully this was helpful to someone.
Also you can set which button is the default for the enter key. This makes things easy if you want to queue up a bunch of files without a lot of tabbing around.
