Emperor Maniac (V) Mad Scientist with Finglongers From: Cell 53, East Wing Insane since: Jul 2001	posted 10-04-2003 20:09 If I stick an audio CD into the CD drive I'd like it to automatically play in WinAmp but the actions (at least in XP Home Edition) only allow me to use WMP and other MS approved options. Is there any fix to this? It strikes me as very naughty as 95% of users will go with the easy option and just use WMP. I thought this had come up before here but I couldn't find it. ___________________ Emps The Emperor dot org

I have a WA problem (v3) I put the volume to 100% and when the song is done and it skips to the next song, the volume goes down to about 80%, no matter how many times I change it, it'll go to 80%.
