I remember the days when I could right click on the Winamp icon in the Windows taskbar, and select "Disable Winamp Agent", and it would actually disable and not appear again. This no longer seems to work on Windows 7 (or maybe Windows in general). Every time I restart my PC, it appears in the taskbar again.

I like having my icons displaying in the taskbar. Which is why I have "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar" checked off.

I have Winamp v5.571 installed on Windows 7 Ultimate.

How do I properly turnoff the Winamp agent from appearing in the Windows taskbar? Right-click to disable doesn't work!

Using WinAmp to put music on an iPod/iPhone

Back in the day, with older iPods, you could copy music onto them using Winamp's Music Library. I heard that newer iPods and iPhones have all sort of encryption that prevents this from being fully functional.

Whenever I open a video in Winamp now, it loads in a new winamp-plugin-looking-window titled, "Vidamp", it plays very quickly (about 1 hour plays in 30 seconds) and without sound.
