Early last month, Wired News published a piece on people listening to music
by randomly shuffling through the tracks. It's a great way to go through
larger collections, affording the listener a chance to hear a song he or she
might've missed or forgotten. Since the days of yore, Winamp has supported
this peculiar listening habit-Winamp has supported "the shuffle." We're
pro-shuffle, one could say. Go to any shuffle rallies or demonstrations.
We're right there in the thick of things, sticking it to the man.
If you think playlist shuffling is "the future", then "Jump to File" is the
jetpack that briskly pilots you through the wonders of tomorrow. This
oft-forgotten Winamp feature has been around since our junior years, but is
still just as useful as ever. Many people just load up a playlist of a
hundred or two songs for Winamp to randomly wander through while they work
on something else. What if you come up with a particular song you want to
listen to in the playlist? You can hit the letter "J" (or "Ctrl-Alt-J" if
you have Global Hot Keys enabled) to bring up the Jump to File window.
Instead of having to scroll through long playlists, Jump to File lets you
conveniently search for your song, taking ID3 tag information and even file
names into consideration. Hitting the "Jump To File" button plays your
selected song, before returning to your random playlist.
But wait, there's more!
