>Got this from Dean, at Topdot, it's really cool.

I found a local scanner in there even, kb8 sumbody, no idea of where.  This
morning I found almost 9000 winamp radio stations, now I found over
7800.  Lots more catigories as well.


>>To increase the number of stations found in
>>the Winamp library, follow these steps.

>>do, which necessitates
>>asking the same question over again. So copy this down, put it in a place
>>you'll remember and then if you need it again you can go find it.
>>Ok, on with the steps to increase the number of stations.
>>
>>1. Launch Winamp. The version I'm running is 5.07, but this works for
>>versions from 5.04 on up to 5.08. so if you have one of those, these
>>directions will
>>work. If you have an earlier version, the directions are slightly
>>different but we're focusing on the current version here.
>>
>>2. With Winamp open on your screen, press control plus p for preferences.
>>3. Tab until you hear, tree view, or in JAWS it will say, tree 1 tree
>>view and the current position where you are. It remembers the last place
>>you were,
>>so it could say any number of things. To get ourselves a starting point,
>>press your home key to take you to the top.
>>
>>4. press your down arrow key until you hear, media library,6 of 8.
>>With other screenreaders other than jaws you may not hear the position of
>>items, but as long as you hear, media library, you're in the right place.
>>5. Now here's where things get interesting. When you're positioned on the
>>media library option, press your tab key twice. Pressing it once will take you
>>to the close button, and once again you'll land in a list view of views
>>in the media library. The first one in the list is internet radio. Check boxes
>>will show if it will appear in this view, and the check box should be
>>checked. so in JAWS for example, you should hear, manage streaming media
>>views list
>>view,1 of 4. For some reason, it won't tell you that internet radio is
>>the first one, but it is.
>>
>>6.
>>To get to the button where you change the number of streams listed in the
>>library, press your tab key twice. Pressing it once will land you on a button
>>where you can specify ratings for different things which doesn't apply
>>here. Pressing it once more will take you to a button that says, modify
>>preferences
>>button. This is where you want to be, so press your space bar on this.
>>
>>7. On the next screen, you should see an edit box, and it should
>>say,limit number of listings fetch to, and the default number here is
>>500. You can put
>>any number here you like, so in there I put some rediculously high number
>>like 25000. This makes sure that all the streams out there will be
>>fetched. note
>>that when Winamp does this, it may take a bit of time, especially if
>>you're on a slower connection.
>>there are a few other radio buttons here for determining how often it
>>grabs new streams, so you can set that how you like, or leave it at the
>>defaults.
>>Then simply press the ok button to close this dialogue, and then the
>>close button. You can then go back to the media library in Winamp, and
>>then press
>>the refresh button. This button becomes an abort button while it's
>>downloading the stations. Hope this helps explain things.
