Hey thanks for this great app. I'm running winamp through wine on arch, my media library is added as a drive through wine and works fine in winamp. All features of the app work except media library. All symbols and spaces are replaced by code like %2d, %5c, %3d, and folders cannot be opened. The search feature reveals files with these incorrect symbols, but they do not enqueue. Playlist displays correctly, all play and volume controls work. Anything I can do to fix it?

Installed version 3.3d. Very robust and intuitive in operation. If I was to design a remote for WinAMP it would function pretty much like Amplify. I found the setup config a bit finicky but great details on how to properly set up are available on the app web page. Will see how it performs over the next few days with connecting and behaving properly but very impressive tool so far. Really puts seamless control of WinAmp in your hand from anywhere on your Wi-Fi network. Impressive.

Can't download the ajaxamp zip. I only get an empty zip folder.

My WinAmp 5 didn't even acknowledge its existence. I know, different directory name and I rectified that immediately. Verified it was in the plugins but WinAmp 5 just doesn't even acknowledge its presence. Can't give a better rating until it's fixed because WinAmp 5 is superior to previous versions in quite a few ways.

Awful. First I configured it, and it worked just fine after I switched my Antivirus from Public to private profile. Days later, using the exact same configuration, phone, network and computer it won't work. Sometimes I can't manually start the plug-in from Winamp. No matter how I keep my settings, regardless of the IP (0.0.0.0 or 192.168...) I get an error on my phone saying it couldn't connect to Winamp. All firewalls disabled on my computer and this thing still won't work. One of the most annoying, irritating experiences a human being could have with tech is to have it work and then have it do inexplicable things and stop working on its own. Really, really annoying
