The new Pro Bundle gives you a bunch of new features including a 10-band equalizer, the ability to browse your music collection by folders, support for FLAC and a bunch of other features.

This post is a quick tutorial on how to customize your Winamp Home screen. It offers a few quick tips on how to rearrange your home screen layout, how to add buttons for your favorite SHOUTcast stations & playlists, and how to restore your default settings.

Step 1
Download the latest version of the Winamp for Android. And if you haven't already you'll need to upgrade to the Pro Bundle via an in-app purchase.


Step 2:
From Winamp's home screen, you will need to select the Menu button and tap on "Customize Home".

Step 3
In this screen, you'll see a list of all of your button options - including any playlists you've created and any SHOUTcast stations that you have marked as a "Favorite". Any buttons in the black area will display on your home screen. Buttons in the grey area will not be on the home screen.



The buttons not visible on the home screen are still available. To access them, go to the home screen, click the Menu button and then select "More".

NOTE: If you've not selected any SHOUTcast stations as a favorite, you won't see them in the customize home screen list. You'll first need to go to SHOUTcast, play a station and from the "Now Playing" screen tap on the screen to reveal more options and tap on the Star icon to "Favorite" that station. Once it's a favorite, it will automatically become available in the customize home screen view.


Step 4
To change the position of any button on the home screen, hold the grip on the left of the button name and drag to the desired position. Once you are finished adjusting the button positions, click on the Winamp lightening bolt (or hit the back button) and your changes will be saved.

Step 5 (optional)
If your Playlist or SHOUTcast station name is too long, you have the option to edit the name. From the Customize Home view, long hold on the Playlist or Station name to edit.




Step 6 (optional)
If you want to restore the default Home screen, from the Customize Home view, select the menu button and then tap on "Restore Default Layout".

One part genius. Three parts llama. And a sprinkling of corporate AOL. That's what Winamp is all about.
