Hi all. I have the latest version of winamp and jaws6.0. When I open the playlist editor it says playlist editor open but I can't do anything else. Could someone tell me how to use the editor? or does the new version of winamp not work with jaws and the playlist editor? Thanks.

It should work. You've opened the editor, then you have to control tab. Did you try that?

my winamp tends to switch back to the media library window all the time, and when I try to open up the playlist editor, it doesn't always work.

You press control+N to create a new one. You press l to add a new song to it. After you press L you will get a dialogue similar to save or open and you can choose a song from your computer.
If you want to delete a song from the list you moove between the songs with up and down. To make sure you are on the right song you press enter and the song starts playing.
You press control+S to save the playlist.

Sorry i forgot to say but you delete a song by pressing delete.
It's easy to guess i suppose but i wanted to give compleete instructions. There are more things you can do but these are the basics. If you look in the jaws help you can find more shortcuts you can use.

Also if you wish to open a whole folder into the playlist editor instead of just single tracks you press shift+L
