Good morning. I am facing a curious situation. Out of nothing, the playlist in my WInamp has started displaying the tracklist mirror-inverted. This means: first track time, then track title and at the right the track number. Also, everything right-aligned. How can I reverse this to the 'normal' displaying order? Thank you so much!

Shift+L - doesn't 'Stop after song finished (would be nice if you could see that somewhere)', it 'suggests' to open some folder. Ctrl+V does the job ('stop after song ' - exactly the way it mentioned above).

ok; done right now :-)

The pleasure is mine :), and thanks for the list, it's really helpful. Although there's a little mistake again (in the same key combination) - now it's 'Shift+V' while there should be 'Ctrl' instead of 'Shift'.

fixed. This must have been stated wrong for 2 years before somebody complained, thanks for volunteering a quick post so that I can fix it.

Z is the correct shortcut for: Jump to previous song
