another tip - i've found it handy to create a custom item type called "winamp" with
states such as play, pause, next, previous...

then i've got one event that says...
if winamp is now play 
then winampPlay set execute
if winamp is now pause 
then winampPause set execute


i've also got a state of 'idle' and finish the event with

do winamp set idle

so that i don't have to worry about getting out of sync if i control winamp through
something other than ECS. (for example, if i had set winamp to play, then 
stopped it externally, setting winamp to play again wouldn't trigger "winamp is now
play" since it already WAS set to play....)

A.J.,

If that's the case, take a look at the EXECUTE command. You'd need to set up text items
for each of the WACTRL commands 
you'd want to use (i.e. One would be "WACTRL PLAY", another would be "WACTRL SHUFFLE",
etc.) To make WACTRL do 
what you'd want it to, you'd just set the text item to EXECUTE.
