i've not got a normal soundcard on my pc (i produce music) so i can't use the normal windows volume controls as they don't work at all. The only way i can mute winamp is by actually turning the volume of winamp itself down to 0.

is this what you menat by missing a percent? (on the 3rd line)

"[volume()%]"

why do i need !labelinfoexport or !parseevars and where do you think i should put them?

cheers for your help so far
