Otherwise, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/winamp.en.softonic.com\/ie\/30100\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Winamp<\/a> is continuously playing a list with more than 4,300 songs in it.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this huge number, I have no problems in managing my song collection without even leaving the application I\u2019m currently working with. I\u2019ve customized a couple of handy keyboard shortcuts that allow you to control Winamp\u2019s functions from any program, so that I can pause music, turn up the volume o go to the next track in list with a simple key combination. You can find these keyboard shortcuts in <em>Options &gt; Preferences &gt; Global Hotkeys<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favourite shortcuts is the one that opens the \u201cJump to file\u201d dialog. This function allows you to find any song in your playlist by entering the title or the artist\u2019s name, and play it on Winamp immediately. Also, I recently noticed that this dialog offers two other interesting options: you can move a file after the one that\u2019s currently playing or create a queue inside the playlist with, let\u2019s say, the songs you\u2019d like to listen to during the next hour. So whenever I feel a bit moody, I use this shortcut and it only takes me a minute or so to find just the most appropriate song for that moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I listen to music at work, only muting the player when I really need concentration or in case somebody talks to me.
