Thanks very much, Steve.  This at least saves me a step or two.

I'll be working at home tomorrow, and will try the update via this link.

Tom,

I've never had any trouble finding the latest Winamp update; I just go to
www.winamp.com, and there it is.  However, to make your life easier, here's
a link which will let you download the latest version from my Dropbox
folder:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/16brm6eughsm8i0/winamp565_full_emusic-7plus_en-us.
exe?dl

Let me know if you have any problems, and we'll figure something else out.

Steve
