I'd like to be able to use Winamp to eject CDs.

I'll never understand the eject function. If you're going down there to take out/put in a CD, you're gonna have to move your body anyway! Why don't you just hit the eject button on the drive?! I'll never get it.

grimmie, grimmie, grimmie...to shame

The eject function is for people who have their pc a tad bit too far away for them to reach it quickly...another thing, my eject button is a little too hard to push, but my mouse or keyboard buttons/keys aren't. One last thing, it is good when you have like a crappy 100 mhz pc, cause winamp plays a little slower (on those) when the cd is spinning [insert sound bite "I'm spinning! I'm spinning!" from the Frog Blender thing by JoeCartoon], while if the cd is ejected, it isn't...so if you have a big app open, and it'll only run if the cd isn't playing, just hit like ALT+E or something. That's my 4 cents worth!
