Winamp 5.03 Media Library Fix

If you’re having problems in 5.02 or 5.03 with Winamp freezing up when you play a song from the Media Library view, it’s due to the file “gen_hotkeys.dll” in the Winamp\Plugins folder. Rename this to “gen_hotkeys.dll.old” or replace with the one from version 5.01 and everything should work again.
