Can I use Space bar on PC laptop to pause/start?

Hi,

I have Win7 and the latest Winamp on a laptop.

I want my songs to pause after each track is played. I then want to go to start the next song.

Can I do this using the Space bar as a Pause/Stop?

Thanks

the only way to get the spacebar set to a play/pause action is to set it as a global hotkey and doing that means you completely loose the use of the spacebar in other programs whilst Winamp is running.

also http://nunzioweb.com/daz/nos.html may still work and give you the automatic advancing to the next track once the manual advance stopping (as i think you are using) happens.

Yes I am on manual and have now installed the mod you suggest on that link.

I Global set the Pause/Play to the Space Bar.

I can start the song with the Space Bar and when it finishes it goes to the next song and stops as required. I can then start this song once again with the space bar.

Thank you.

:-)
