I would like to see some kind of documentation (v 5.03). The Help/winamp help menu choice fires up a blank MSIE window. Not very helpful.

I would like to burn a CD from a playlist. Now I know this is possible, but it's sure not obvious. "[No burners found]" is what my "Burn" button tells me. I have a Plex/Combo DVD/CDRW at D:.

I would like to exchange play/burn lists with that P.O.S. Roxio easycd creator, since winamp can't burn.

The online Winamp Help page loads just fine

However, there's a possibility that your burner model is not supported !?

Yes. Having a link to that is very handy, but having a "Help" screen appear when I select "Winamp Help" from the "Help" menu in winamp would be even better. Having a "readme" with a hint about where the docs are would be good.

I had renamed the "In_cdda.dll" plugin as per the CD Reader plug-in instructions (http://www.url*****~copah/CDReader.htm). This cause the CD-Reader to disappear from the devices list! I restored the dll & the plextor re-appeared. Attempting to burn left me (after many minutes) with a window announcing "Complete" , 1 status bar blank, the other at about 50%, a locked up computer and a useless CD. Not exactly my definition of "working software", but I'm just picky.

The link I provided above is the page that appears from the Help menu in Winamp.
If it's not working for you, then there's either something wrong with your installation, or maybe some spyware / browser hi-jacker is to blame?

The CDReader plugin is not required for Winamp 5.x
Make sure it is totally disabled, ie. not in the Winamp\Plugins dir.
