Have you ever wondered how to make the media keys on your keyboard actually work for Winamp?
If yours are not working, then you better follow these instructions.
Open up the Winamp Preferences and the browse down to General Preferences \ Global Hotkeys.
The first thing you should check is whether the “Enabled” hotkey is checked.
If it’s not, then select that and most likely that will fix your issue.
Press the media key on your keyboard representing the function you are trying to do.
confirm you nudge the Set button when you make the change.
