Now Playing not current while playing in Winamp

I have the strong recollection that in the past, when I was using Winamp as my player, MM's Now Playing would stay current. In other words, if I skipped to the next song, the MM Now Playing list would realize that.

Am I mis-remembering, or has something broken in my setup. Is MM supposed to be able to stay updated?
Thanks.

I'm not sure (don't use WinAmp myself), but I think another user reported this issue with WinAmp 5.5.

Does anybody know if this works?

I'm up and running now with the correct synchronization. Not sure what the problem was, but these were my steps:
- uninstalled Winamp 5.5. also removed all the plugins
- installed Winamp 5.1 - worked fine.
- installed Winamp 5.3 - worked fine.
- installed Winamp 5.5 - worked this time.

It may have been that one of the plugins was breaking it. I had httpQ in the plugins directory but didn't need it. Maybe that was part of the problem.


Thanks for the help,
David
